UNEEK CHESS
Print
Report itemThe United States has a diverse collection of lighthouse construction types. The majority of today's surviving 595 lighthouses are land based; close to a fourth have foundations built in the water. Lighthouses were built on land, in the water, on islands, on top of ledges and cliffs, on breakwaters and piers, on caissons, and at least five are on fort walls.
Although the almost 300-year era of manned light stations in this country has come to an close, those remaining symbols of our maritime heritage can, and should be, preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. This wonderful chess set depicts "Lights of the East Coast" vs "Lights of the Great Lakes". The East Coast has the following pieces ... King: Cape Hatteras, NC - Queen: Portland Head, ME - Bishop: Ponce de Leon, FL - Knight: New London Ledge, CT - Rook: Navesink, NJ - Pawn: Brand Point, MA. The Great Lakes has the following pieces ... King: New Presque Isle, MI - Queen: Big Sable, MI - Bishop: Marblehead, OH - Knight: Little Sable, MI - Rook: Old Mackinac, MI - Pawn: Split Rock, MN. The rank of each piece can be identified by height as well as a chess emblem on the base.
