{"product_id":"9781599621401","title":"Lighthouses of America","description":"A spectacular collection of America’s most iconic and stunning lighthouses. Through gorgeous photography, this  book celebrates these unique and magnificent beacons and their history.  The construction of lighthouses began as this new nation’s first  public-works project in 1789 and established the United States as a  maritime world power by making ports safe for navigation. These  structures—many still active and serving their original purpose even in  the era of global positioning systems—are living museums, yet they often  prove difficult to access for visitors due to their necessary  remoteness. From Maine’s West Quoddy Head on the easternmost headlands  to the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and the West Coast lighthouses  from New Point Loma to New Dungeness and Michigan’s Grand Haven Pier  Lighthouse, the images here will delight both the armchair traveler and  those who have taken the back roads or trekked across sandy beaches to  visit these special and often artful buildings. This is a great gift for  lovers of lighthouses, boaters, and those who live or dream of living  on the seashore.","brand":"Tom Beard","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47260110651604,"sku":"9781599621401","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_068c48fe-0627-48ea-91ab-8f344c5049b7.jpg?v=1763161226","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781599621401","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
