Hello, Again!

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

 

LUDINGTON LIGHT, Michigan

Chessie’s water-borne links between Ludington, Michagan and the Wisconsin ports of Milwaukee, Manitowoc and Kewaunee move 175,000 passengers, 50,000 autos and 100,000 cars of freight annually across Lake Michigan.  Vacationists from many states choose C&O’s cross lake short cut as pleasant and restful interludes in a busy schedule.  C&O’s fleet of seven ships operates round the clock every day throughout the year.
