Author Bio
Theodore J. Panayotoff is the former chairman of the Oswego Lighthouse Development Committee, and Michael R. Pittavino serves as curator of the H. Lee White Maritime Museum. Together, they present both familiar and never-before-seen images of Oswego's waterfront that were carefully selected from hundreds of photographs in the archives of the H. Lee White Maritime Museum and other sources near and far. Collectively, they paint a picture of Oswego that is most assuredly not lost to history and one that will forever remain deeply rooted in local culture.
