Summary

There are more than 30 lighthouses around the coast of Wales. Many of these are well known structures, located in spots of great natural beauty, but all operate a vital role in warning seafarers of marine hazards and guiding them to safer waters. In this book author Warren Kovach looks at the development of lighthouses in Wales, how they have been operated over the centuries, and who have been involved in their story - the lighthouse keepers and their families as well as the architects. Alongside the human story is a story of technological development, the evolution of different types of structure, lamps and lenses, fog signals and the automated future in a world with GPS.
