a very scarce privately printed book that recounts a two week cruise made by the author on board the s.s.'Vestal' as a guest of Captain Robert Hoare, an Elder Brother of Trinity House, as he carried out his official inspection of the Home-Waters Lighthouses and Lightships, which stretched from Orfordness on the east coast of Suffolk to Beachy Head in Sussex.
