Description
The latest book in our lighthouses series features 48 exceptional lights of the St. Lawrence River, from the charming Thousand Islands to the breathtaking Gulf of St. Lawrence. In Sentinels in the Stream, two of North America's top landscape photographers join forces to capture the rugged beauty of the river and its lighthouses, on the shores, shoals and islands of upstate New York and Ontario and Quebec . Each lighthouse is profiled with its unique history and architectural highlights. Ex-lightkeeper Ted Cater -- now the supervisor for many of the lighthouses under the care of the Canadian Coast Guard -- provides a insider's view of St. Lawrence lightkeeping.
