On the New England coast a crew of engineers, sloop captains and divers labour season after season to raise a lighthouse on a dangerous offshore ledge. Caleb West, the steady master diver, works the deep water while trouble grows in his own home, and Captain Joe, Captain Bob Brandt, Aunty Bell’s kitchen and the young engineer fill the story with salt-water life.
Drawn from Hopkinson Smith’s own career building lighthouses, a warm, vivid novel of work and loyalty at sea. Download the free EPUB.
