PART 2
In this series of videos produced by CPTV, writer / director Susan Sulavik Peters looks at the stories and memories behind these shoreline sentinels, while videographer Kevin Kuhl beautifully captures the iconic majesty of the rugged New England coast.
Featured throughout are the recollections of life as a lighthouse keeper, the involvement of The U.S. Coast Guard and a look at the public / private partnerships that keep these historic structures up and running.
This CPTV original program first aired in 1988.
Part 2 looks at the US Coast Guard's involvement and stewardship, as well as some civilians who at one time inhabited and maintained the lighthouses.
Discipline in the lighthouse service with the old civilians that ran it was strict...and the wives
that kept the house were inspected just as much as the men's work . It was very, very strict.
