It also provides information on the surrounding geography, such as landmarks, shoals, and other navigational hazards, as well as sailing directions for approaching and departing each lighthouse.The American Lighthouse Guide is organized by geographic region, with separate sections for the Atlantic Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes. Each section includes detailed maps and charts, as well as information on weather patterns and tidal currents.In addition to its practical value as a navigational aid, The American Lighthouse Guide also serves as a historical record of the lighthouses that dotted the American coastline in the mid-19th century.
