Description

Lightships were once used to anchor in waters where lighthouses couldn't be built, such as across America's oceans and the Great Lakes. These small but steadfast ships played a crucial role in guiding sailors through calm and stormy conditions towards safety. The story in the book follows one such lightship and her dedicated crew, including a cat, as they maintain their position and operate the vessel to ensure the safety of passing ships. Readers are invited to come aboard and experience the life of the lightship crew.
