The Lightship Port is a new website from Eastwind Publishing, devoted to the history and lore of lightships and lighthouse tenders. Eastwind Publishing is located in Trappe, Maryland and is a leading publisher of books on lightships, lighthouses and other historical and maritime subjects. As the site develops, we will add extensive articles, more photo galleries and a complete roster of U.S. lightships and tenders
We begin here with a brief history of lightships and tenders, with photographs. Click on the buttons on the left side to proceed through the article pages and to visit our picture gallery.
