After all, they're just buildings. But they're buildings that have stood for many years and the test of time as the world went on, giving light, guidance and assurance to mariners and shipping traffic along the coasts of the world. They were standing when the American Colonies were founded. They were standing during ancient rule. What started out as fires along the shore became the welcoming, war

"It is perhaps a more fortunate destiny to have a taste for collecting shells than to be born a millionaire." Accents Lighthouses is dedicated to keeping alive the knowledge of North American lighthouses, through the fine artwork of counted cross-stitch, and historical research. Each of the lighthouses has been researched for historical and general information, based largely on the writings of Edward Rowe Snow, known for his maritime publications. Permission to use his narratives was given by his daughter, Dorothy Snow Bicknell. See our ad in Sea History Magazine , the official publication of the U.S. Maritime History Magazine

The rainbows we've been seeing on the coast lately have been pretty spectacular - but this photo from Tracy Salkowitz from this morning takes the cake.

The rain is supposed to take a break this afternoon! Come on down for a walk along the headlands and say hi to our Sunday volunteer docents! ✨

This is the story of the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It can be found at the top of a rocky headland in County Donegal, Ireland. It's called the Fanad Head Lighthouse.
