Legendary Lighthouses
An Interview with John Grant
Lighthouses evoke powerful
emotional responses. To a sailor, a lighthouse is a comforting
sight: a refuge from the dangers of stormy seas; a beacon of light that
illuminates a dark sky, guiding ships safely into harbor. For the
rest of us, a lighthouse serves a less practical purpose. Solitary and
beautiful, they're often associated with romance and intrigue.
Producer and author John Grant understands their allure. He shares his
fascination with these coastal beacons in a six part travel series on
PBS called "Legendary Lighthouses." The series airs nationwide between
now and mid-November.
