Lighthouses along the Great Lakes have been pivotal in shaping maritime history, serving not only as navigational aids but also as sites of dramatic events. The narrative explores incidents like the American invasion at Prescott, the tragic disaster at Oswego, and the bravery of a young lightkeeper's daughter during a rescue. Each lighthouse symbolizes the romance and lore of the region, highlighting the challenges faced by their keepers in one of the most solitary professions, while witnessing tales of war, shipwrecks, and heroism.
