Cape Canaveral (Images of America: Florida)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Cape Canaveral is a name that evokes visions of giant rockets and a shuttle thundering into space. In fact, the capeâ€™s history is much older than the space program. In the beginning of European exploration of the New World, maps marked Cape Canaveral as a hazard for sailors. Its treacherous shoals and currents caused the destruction of many ships and the deaths of many seafarers. The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse, built in the 19th century, became a welcome landmark, warning ships of dangers and serving as a beacon of light for a bright future. In addition to serving as a major seaport, Cape Canaveral became another kind of portal in the 1960s: the Kennedy Space Center is now known locally and worldwide as the â€œgateway to the stars.â€
