Lightship Hardcover - 2007
by Brian Floca; Brian Floca (Illustrator)
Lightships were once anchored in waters where lighthouses could not be built, to guide sailors towards safe waters. This picture book follows the crew (and cat) of the "Ambrose" lightship, and includes a lightship diagram and historical background. Full color.
Summary
You may never have
heard of a lightship.
Once, lightships
anchored on waters
across America,
on the oceans
and in the Great Lakes,
floating where lighthouses
could not be built.
Smaller than most ships,
but more steadfast, too,
they held their spots,
through calm and storm,
to guide sailors
toward safe waters.
In these pages
one lightship
and her crew (and cat)
again hold their place.
The crew goes
again from bow to stern,
from keel to mast,
to run their engines,
shine their lights,
and sound their horns.
They run the small ship
that guides the large ships.
They are the crew (and cat)
that work to make the ocean safe,
that hold their place,
so other ships can sail.
Come aboard!
