A History of South Carolina Lighthouses (Landmarks)
John Hairr
Before radar, depth finders and satellite-guided navigation, before the seafloor was charted with scientific precision, mariners had to rely on lighthouses to approach a coastline safely. South Carolina's history with lighthouses goes back nearly two and a half centuries. At Cape Romain, a windmill was used as a lighthouse. St. Phillips Church in Charleston was converted in a beacon for seafarers to aid navigation to the Holy City. With such a long and storied history, the history of South Carolina's lighthouses is inseparable from its maritime history. Join author John Hairr as he recounts the fascinating history that has shown above the shores of the Palmetto State.
