Last Keeper's Lighthouse Stories
Tony Beddard
The very nature of lighthouses captures the imagination. Being marooned on different lighthouses throughout my career has produced many memorable incidents and humorous stories. Diverse locations like Lundy, Alderney, Wolf, Sark, all have something unique to offer. Rock tower lighthouses, land lights or island lighthouses, each one is different. Cooped up on a tower and being pounded by heavy seas is not only exhilarating, but frightening as well. Fog signals can play a huge part in a good duty period and the relief for going ashore is always welcomed. The characters are what makes this book such a good read. It gets your chuckle chops in overdrive, especially at some of the antics on the lights. A month's duty is filled with incidents and the constant change in weather conditions has an effect on everything that you do. These stories will show how hardship goes hand in glove with humour whilst aboard.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Tony BeddardPublisher: Austin MacauleyPublished: 11/30/2018ISBN: 9781788782319Pages: 140Weight: 0.32lbsSize: 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.30d
