Living with
danger, a harsh environment, isolation and loneliness is the reality for
the lighthouse keepers. Since the early 1800's, hundreds of courageous
men and women have garrisoned these saviours of Newfoundland's
unforgiving seas. Although keeping the lights aglow and blowing the
foghorns were their main responsibilities, there are few who haven't
participated in daring sea rescues, sometimes paying the ultimate
sacrifice of their own life trying to save others. Lighthouse People is
a collection of their personal stories ranging from affectionate
memories of family life to tales of heroism, adversity and tragedy.
