~ Lighthouse Ghosts & Carolina Coastal Apparitions by Norma Elizabeth & Bruce Roberts

From the Graveyard of the Atlantic to beautiful Hilton Head Island grand apparitions are here–dedicated keepers haunt this fabled coast, still on duty years after they passed on. A black pelican, a gray man, and a young girl with long blonde hair and misty-blue eyes have been warning of bad storms and hurricanes for centuries; a beautiful woman looking for her portrait and a pirate looking for his head still walk the sandy beaches.

~ North Carolina Lighthouses by Cheryl Shelton-Roberts & Bruce Roberts Newly revised title!

For centuries, mariners traveling the East Coast of the US have dreaded the North Carolina coastline, better known as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.” For almost 200 years these storied sentinels have lighted the night and beamed a warning to sailors. Read about these proud beacons including the lost lights of the rivers and sounds of North Carolina. Within this well-researched booklet, you will find a unique map, beautiful color photographs, intriguing facts, and directions to the North Carolina Lighthouses.

~ Shipwrecks by Norma Elizabeth & Bruce Roberts

Eyewitness accounts, dramatic rescues, storms, shipwrecks, and heroes are here. Now read about the captains and crews of some hapless ships who valiantly gave their all to keep their vessels afloat and sometimes, like the Dixie Arrow's heroic Oscar Chappel, sacrificed their own lives to give their companions a chance to survive. Also read about the courageous lifesaving surfmen who unselfishly put themselves in mortal danger during death-defying attempts to rescue shipwrecked men, women, and children.
