Historic Lighthouses and Keepers of New Hampshire & Southern Maine

Jeremy D'Entremont highlights the fascinating stories of the lighthouse keepers and their families who, beginning in 1771, mainainted the lighthouses between Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and York, Maine: Portsmouth Harbor Light, Whaleback Light, White Island (Isles of Shoals) Light, Boon Island Light, and Cape Neddick "Nubble" Light. The histories of these lighthouses and their keepers reveal rich human interest stories and fascinating lore, from rescues and heroism to isolation and tragedy, and even ghost stories. The program also explores ongoing efforts to preserve these iconic maritime sentinels today.
