HARD LUCK COAST:
THE PERILOUS REEFS OF POINT MONTARA
Glencannon Press Maritime Books – April 2010
Standing only thirty feet tall, Point Montara’s tiny stature belies an adventurous maritime heritage. Having stood on the Atlantic and Pacific Coast, the tower is America’s only sentinel to have witnessed shipwrecks on two shores. Each shipwreck represents a separate, yet integrated piece of history, linking us to the past. Each lighthouse is a mighty monument to that past. Their beacons are our eyes to the world as it was, attesting to the stories of irreplaceable people, places, and times. Place your order with: |

Reviews
"The depth of research is readily apparent, and the efficiency with which the information is delivered is remarkable. Perhaps even more impressive is the author's ability to put the faces with the names of the heroes, heroines, and villains of the many dramas."
(Wreck & Rescue)
“Here’s a book by a master storyteller, told with great
authority, pathos, and skill. The history of these doomed ships all comes
alive with deft charm, attention to detail, and a novelist’s flare for
high drama.”
(Sea Classics)
“This book is 180 pages of engagingly written, fact-rich
prose, spiced up with old photos. The author's personable, detailed style
brings alive the ships and the times.”
(Half Moon Bay Review)
