Step back in time to explore the fascinating journey of a brass-bound case filled with books as it travels from lighthouse to lighthouse, connecting lighthouse keepers and their families to the rest of the world.

​

In the 1800s, American lighthouse keepers lived at the edges of the sea with limited access to opportunities or education. But then hope set sail in the form of traveling library cases. Inspired by real events, Stories by Sea follows one library case as it journeys from lighthouse to lighthouse, connecting families through the stories they share and celebrating the power of books to light the way.
