We focus on lighthouses along the documented northern shoreline corridor used by regional maritime records. Nearby inland beacons and distant coasts are referenced only when they directly clarify this route.

A tower appears as preserved when a substantial historic structure remains in place and is recognized in preservation, municipal, or heritage documentation—even if access, restoration stage, or current use differs by site.

Stories are editorial narratives built from logs, local archives, and public records. They aim to preserve voice and context, while noting where details are interpreted, incomplete, or debated by sources.

You’ll find scans of period photographs, postcards, station views, and occasional document fragments. Image notes identify date ranges and provenance whenever available to support careful reading and citation.

Use the map as your geographic index: pick a tower, then move to History or Stories for timeline and human context. Moving back and forth between place and narrative gives the clearest picture of each site.
