About this ebook
The curiosity provoking structures are built to provide safety to ships of all categories, and to help navigators in distress. The size of lighthouses vary from a height of over 300 ft (90m) to less than 30 ft (9m).
These towers of saving power have been serving humanity since the fourth century BC. When the first lighthouse called Pharos was built in Alexandria Egypt. It is not uncommon that lighthouses are attacked by forces of nature. The Pharos lighthouse was destroyed by vicious storms in the fourteenth century, after it had saved innumerable lives over a thousand year period.
According to recent statistics there are over 13,000 lighthouses in the world today.
Many of the lighthouses included in this book create a fascinating chain of historic landmarks which are accessible to the public.
Enjoy your journey following the stories with photographs of twenty five lighthouses from Europe to New Zealand.
EERO SORILA
Eero Sorila was twelve years old in 1957 when he and his parents immigrated from Finland to Canada. His parents, the late Henry and Alice Sorila faced many challenges, like other immigrants, in adapting to a new life in a new land. Their faith in God was foundational, providing strength in hard times, as it had been in Finland. Initial hardships eventually turned into blessings. Eero, the eldest son, thankfully admits that he also has been a recipient of the blessings. Eero maintains that it has been a profound privilege for him to photograph every province and territory of this great nation. CANADA Photographic Gallery of a Great Nation, is the author’s token of gratitude to God, his parents and Canada.
