When shipwrecks were commonplace in New England, especially during ferocious storms, the quiet lighthouse keeper became a courageous hero. Hear Jeremy D'Entremont, writer for Lighthouse Digest, tell the little known dramas and colorful stories of keepers and their families at the Bay State's historic light stations.
From the storied Boston Light at the entrance to Boston Harbor to the historic lights of Buzzards Bay, D'Entremont shares a wide selection of historic and present day photos as well as video and audio clips recounting the ghostly mysteries as well as true tales of lighthouse keepers who kept lights blazing with steadfast determination.
