LEGENDARY LIGHTHOUSES, a new six-part series about lighthouses and the remarkably beautiful places they're located, offers viewers the opportunity to rediscover the romance and history of these fabled structures. The one-hour programs visit remote locations such as Thomas Point Lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay, the reefSally
lights of Florida's southern coast, California's St. George's Reef Lighthouse, and the lighthouses of Washington's Puget Sound and San Juan Islands. Actor Richard Crenna narrates.
The series also visits famous and historic locations such as Boston Lighthouse on Little Brewster Island, the oldest lighthouse location in America; Ocracoke
Lighthouse, located in the harbor that was once home to the infamous pirate Blackbeard; and Rhode Island's Lime Rock Lighthouse, home to Ida Lewis, who became the most famous lighthouse keeper in
America. Each episode, guided by storytellers who are connected to the lighthouses and
their locations, covers one of the nation's great coastlines, with a sampling of lighthouses
from that region. 6 hours on 3 videotapes.
