The islands of Hawai'i, among the most isolated land masses on erarth, are surrounded by channels of rough waters, strong currents, and rocky shorelines, offering few safe anchorages. This is a history of aids to navigation in the Islands, describes the strenuous efforts necessary to establish and maintain many of the early lights on stark, inaccesible coasts, as well as the modern-day ligths and the personnel who maintain them.
