Guernsey Wrecks,Les Hanois Lighthouse home page
Description
Guernsey Wrecks is a fascinating account of these islands’ maritime history embracing the most comprehensive details of shipwrecks and disasters ever published. There are not only stories of tragedies, grief and heroism, but also of humour, greed and folly. For all aspects of shipping accidents have been witnessed on these shores, swept as they are by treacherous tides, battered by the most ferocious winds or blanketed in dense fog. Les Hanois is truly an exceptional lighthouse. Built in response to a spate of fateful shipwrecks the lighthouse has helped to prevent numerous maritime accidents since it became operational in 1862
