Facing the Sea: Lightkeepers and Their Families

In Facing the Sea, authors Harold Chubbs and Wade Kearley have captured an important era in the maritime history of Newfoundland and Labrador.

These tales of rescue and tragedy, of love lost and redeemed, describe first-hand what life was like for lightkeepers and their families in twenty-five light stations along the exposed and often inhospitable coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Most of these stories are told here for the first time in print, and each story is rich with new details and insights from the perspective of these remarkable men and women.
