Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Bell Rock Lighthouse has stood as an industrial `wonder of the world' since its completion in 1811. The iconic tower on the Inchcape Rock, twelve miles from Arbroath, is the oldest sea-washed tower in the world having been lashed by the seas for over 200 years. Her earlier cousins were all taken by the waves or replaced. The construction of the Bell Rock not only proved the Northern Lighthouse Board had reached maturity, but it made the name of the Stevenson family of lighthouse engineers: a dynasty that dominated Scottish lighthouses for 150 years. Robert Stevenson was the first man on the reef and the last man off, a personal commitment which has seen the Bell Rock's actual Chief Engineer - John Rennie - almost deleted from the station's history. Not only was it a remarkable feat of engineering, but one which played host to a remarkable way of life. The light-keepers undertook their nightly vigils at the station for 177 years, their often mundane and monotonous duties occasionally being punctuated by technological improvement and world events. The keepers are now all gone, but the Bell Rock continues to show its familiar flash, guiding the mariner to safety. A lavishly illustrated history of the iconic Bell Rock lighthouse which has stood as an industrial wonder of the world since its completion in 1811. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Since its completion in 1811, the Bell Rock Lighthouse has been revered as an industrial wonder of the world. The iconic tower was built on the Inchcape Rock, a submerged reef some 12 miles off the coast of Arbroath, and now stands as the oldest sea-washed tower in the world, surviving over 200 years of violent storms and crashing waves. The construction of the Bell Rock made the name of the Stevenson family, a dynasty of lighthouse engineers who dominated Scottish lighthouse engineering for 150 years.
