This collection is composed of post cards, clippings, and articles pertaining to American and foreign lighthouses. Included is a typed volume which presents the history of various lighthouses in America, England, Australia, and Canada. A limited amount of material on lightships is also included.

Postcards, brochures, menus, time-tables, tickets and other ephemeral material collected by Mystic Seaport, relating to vessels that carried passengers, even if that vessel had other primary functions.

The collection consists of documents, originally part of a scrapbook, assembled by Raymond Dubrule during his service with the Naval Armed Guard from 1943 through 1946. Mr. Dubrule served aboard the liberty ships BERNARD M. BAKER and JERRY S. FOLEY and also spent time in New Orleans, San Diego, Guam, North Korea and Shanghai before being discharged from the Navy in Lido Beach, Long Island, New York.
