One of the most valuable prizes in the French and Indian War, it was captured by the British in 1759, and was not surrendered to the U.S. until 1796. Robinson Point, on Puget Sound between Seattle and Tacoma, is world famous for its fog. On one memorable occasion in 1897, Point Robinson Light¿s steam whistle and red lantern had to be kept going continuously for 528 hours (22 days). St. Augustine, in Florida, is the oldest permanent European settlement in the Americas, preceding Jamestown by 40 years. Its majestic 165-foot lighthouse is famous for its ghosts, and is a very popular tourist attraction. Lighthouses have aided mariners for thousands of years, alerting sailors that their ships were close to shore, both at night and in stormy weather. The very first lighthouse in the New World was erected at the entrance to Boston Harbor in 1716. These "beacons of the night" proliferated rapidly in America, and were crucial to the growth of the colonies, which depended heavily on maritime trade. Modern technology has brought the era of classic manned lighthouses to a close, and only a few hundred are left in America, in various states of repair. Many have become heavily-visited tourist attractions, and lighthouse collectibles of all kinds are now extremely popular. These coins all began as statehood quarters, to which the mints artists have added colorization, honoring the most interesting and important lighthouses in the United States. Recalling America's great maritime heritage, these lighthouse quarters make great collectibles and gifts. HIGHLIGHTS: First Ever U.S. Colorized Quarter Set featuring Historic Lighthouses.
