The book explores the historical significance of lighthouses in Maryland during Colonial times, highlighting their role in navigating the perilous Chesapeake Bay and its rivers. It details the construction of distinctive wood-framed cottages on screw pile foundations, which faced the harsh elements and often resulted in tragic losses of both structures and their keepers. As technology advanced with electricity and GPS, many lighthouses fell victim to vandalism and neglect, leading to a significant decline in their numbers.
