Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the state of Colonial Lighthouses during the mid-1800s. Specifically, the author, a leading lighthouse engineer, conveys the need for a centralized authority to oversee British colonial lighthouses. The author discusses the lack of support, funding, and management, drawing on examples of shipwrecks at sites where lighthouses were needed. The broader context of this book demonstrates the 19th century transformation in lighthouse construction and lighthouse engineering. The author argues that a centralized authority could provide the guidance and support necessary to build and maintain lighthouses that would save lives and property, and help to transform global shipping trade. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of an organized effort in creating a safer maritime environment. The author's proposals serve as a critical analysis of the state of colonial lighthouses and are essential reading for anyone interested in maritime administration, 19th century engineering, and the history of lighthouse engineering.
