Getting the Ships Safely to Shore

I bought this book when I visited the Portland Lighthouse. It is a very nice book and even nicer as I spent time reading it and absorbing the information contained in the book. I plan to do a lesson on ships and lighthouses when I return to school in the Fall. That way I combine my vacation with knowledge I picked up with traveling. Lighthouses are beautiful and very intruiging to learn and write about.
