Seriously, did you know that hundreds of women were lighthouse keepers in the 1800s?  We didn't.

Ida Lewis and Kate Walker were two of the most famous.  They kept the light burning through storms and fog.  They kept a watch on the waters around them rescuing dozens and dozens of sailors who had the misfortune of capsizing during a storm.

These women were the bravest of the brave.

Join Kit and Sherlock for the whole story of Ida and Kate - two of the bravest women in America.
