One of the most famous was the iconic Statue of Liberty. This fascinating history with photos will bring the time of traffic along the river alive.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the backdrop of purple mountains, lush hillsides, and tidal wetlands, the lighthouses of the Hudson River were built between 1826 and 1921 to improve navigational safety on a river teeming with freight and passenger traffic. Unlike the towering beacons of the seacoasts, these river lighthouses were architecturally diverse, ranging from short conical towers to elaborate Victorian houses. Operated by men and women who at times risked and lost their lives in service of safe navigation, these beacons have overseen more than a century of extraordinary technological and social change. Of the dozens of historic lighthouses and beacons that once dotted the Hudson River, just eight remain, including the iconic Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor's great monument to freedom and immigration, which served as an official lighthouse between 1886 and 1902. Hudson River Lighthouses invites readers to explore these unique icons and their fascinating stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hudson River Maritime Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467103306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467103305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Hudson River Maritime Museum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989862908159,"sku":"9781467103305","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f393cb22-48ef-4ef8-aecc-1708cc73b261.jpg?v=1683301770","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hudson-river-lighthouses-hudson-river-maritime-museum-9781467103305","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
