Dozens of lighthouses dot the coastlines of Europe, sentinels built to guide sailors and ships to safety through the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean, Baltic, and North Seas. Enjoy an armchair tour of more than seventy of these solitary beauties when you page through this collection of spectacular photographs, created by German photographer Thomas Ebelt and spotlighting lighthouses in seventeen countries across the continent. Some of the structures are older than the United States, and others are "youngsters" rebuilt to replace structures destroyed during World War II, yet all are impressive feats of architecture. Measuring more than a foot tall (13½" to be exact), Lighthouses of Europe is a towering tribute to maritime history.
