## Caption

“I’ll be your candle on the water…” - Nora (Pete’s Dragon) 

There are few images as romantic or evocative as an imaginary dragon, sorry, that of a lighthouse standing on a remote shore, lighting the way for mariners making their way through treacherous shoals.

Many national parks are gateways for exploring the nation’s rich maritime history, including lighthouses. In fact, the National Park Service is steward to nearly 50 lighthouses and light stations in the United States. 

Have a brazzel dazzle day and learn more about lighthouses and those who manned them at: nps.gov
