Thanks for checking us out! It’s been a while since we’ve posted, but we are back and doing our best to keep adding our postcards on a regular basis.
Our posts will feature postcards of the lighthouses of the World, as well as Light Ships and the Life Saving Service. However, a majority of them will be United States based, as that is where we are located. As we are limited by the postcards in our collection, we will eventually add as many as we can.
You can check us out on Facebook! Check us out
We also have a large selection of lighthouse postcards for sale. Visit
This postcard of the Perch Rock Light, in New Brighton, England, is a Hold-To-Light card. The first image shows the postcard in normal light. But, if you hold it up to a light, you can see the beam of light from the lantern, as well as lights on the ship, the moon in the sky, and highlights in the waves.
