This Emmy winning documentary tells the story of Montauk Point Lighthouse the first lighthouse in New York and the first sight of a new world, shining on thousands of immigrants coming to America. Reoccurring accounts of courage and compassion by Keepers and local residents, over the 200 year history of the lighthouse, illustrate how this edifice has bound the souls of humanity through time.

The story of New York Harbor tugboat, from the first steam power to today's modern tractor tugs, is filled with determination, drive, and courage. This film shows how technology and hard work gave European immigrants a foothold on the American Dream.
