Lighthouses have become a problem for Park Service
The book "Mastering the Inland Seas" (University of Wisconsin Press, $36.95) explains the history of Great Lakes lighthouses and navigational aids and the importance of protecting them.
Due to the declining number of commercial vessels and advancements in navigation technology, though, these lighthouses have become a problem for the National Park Service.
Author Theodore Karamanski, a retired professor of public history at Loyola University Chicago, said, “They wanted to see what we need to know to evaluate any of them to be landmarks.”
