Cape Cod Lighthouses
Digging around for some information on Cape Cod Lighthouses. Thanks to Roland from the Cape Cod Store for sending along more links.
Lighthouses of Cape Cod (Jay J. Pulli)

Great photos (although not all are coming up right now on the site). The descriptions are about the visit and the photographs, rather than the history of the lights. Still a great resource.
Lighthouse Getaway

They do a great job on the site of presenting the lighthouses of different regions and states. Page for Cape Cod (and Cape Ann) has many great photos.

Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society (NSLPS)
SITE: Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society (NSLPS)
URL: http://www.nslps.com/
DESCRIPTION: This is a great website with information (now this may seem odd) about Nova Scotia Lighthouses. This site actually has a great deal of information on this lighthouse heavy island in the Atlantic. For each of the lighthouses on Nova Scotia, there is historical and technical information on the lights. Additionally, there is a list of lighthouses that you can visit, extensive photos, news, and a research and preservation section that includes an essay on why "Canada Needs a Lighthouse Protection Act."
Excellent site indeed and valuable for links to all Canadian lighthouses.
