The book unfolds across three main sections, beginning with an exploration of lighthouse architecture and engineering, detailing construction techniques and technological advancements. It then shifts its focus to the human element, painting a vivid picture of the lives of lighthouse keepers through diaries, letters, and oral histories. Finally, Maritime Time Capsules addresses the present-day challenges these structures face, such as coastal erosion and climate change, ultimately proposing strategies for their preservation through community involvement and sustainable tourism.
By combining historical research, on-site analysis, and personal narratives, the book offers a fresh perspective on maritime heritage. The examination of these abandoned lighthouses connects architectural history, environmental studies, and maritime sociology, providing critical lessons about our relationship with the sea and the importance of preserving our maritime heritage for future generations.
