WSRE | Lighthouses of the Gulf Coast

Buy the DVD: http://www.wsre.org/buy For more information: http://www.wsre.org/Lighthouses - The film takes you on a journey to the critically endangered lighthouses of Sand Island and Middle Bay in Mobile Bay, the Pensacola Lighthouse (one of America's tallest), St. George Island's light station, the lighthouses of Cape San Blas and Crooked River as well as the oldest lighthouse still operating on the Gulf Coast — the 1842 St. Marks Lighthouse on Apalachee Bay. These "points of light" have marked safe passage for mariners since the early 19th century. When constructed, they represented state-of-the-art technology, optics and coastal architecture, and were vital to commerce and transportation. Learn about the caretakers of these historical treasures, and meet the passionate preservationists who protect them today. Shot in high-definition, the hour-long documentary details the history of these magnificent towers with archival photos, maps and paintings.
