September 2011 DeTour Reef Light First Lit November 10, 1931 80 Years Shining at the mouth of the St. Mary’s River In 1929, the U.S. Lighthouse Service authorized building a new lighthouse to be located offshore in 24 feet of water on the outer end of the DeTour Reef to mark a larger and dangerous shoal at the entrance to the strategic St. Marys River. Work began in early 1930 and was completed in late 1931. The con- struction of the offshore light was dependant on the weather in the area and the climate and exposed location, made the winter months unsuitable for construction efforts. This lighthouse replaced the on- shore light station (DeTour Point) with the staircase cylinder, circu- lar stairs, lantern, Fresnel lens, radio beacons, and fog signal relocat- ed from the 1861 onshore Detour Point Light Station. After 327 working days and at a cost of $140,000 the building of the DeTour Reef Light, a unique steel-framed square tower of three dis- tinct levels in Classical Revival architectural styling, was completed. On the evening of November 10, 1931 the new DeTour Reef Light was lit by the keepers who transferred from DeTour Point Light. Historian Chuck Feltner has identified the first keepers. They were W. S. Hall, Keeper, James Brander, K1A, Sterling Malone, K2A.

Create and maintain a statewide database. 3. Determine whether waters of the state are safe for total body contact recreation. 4. Compile data to determine overall water quality. 5. Evaluate the effectiveness of MDEQ programs in attaining Water Quality Standards (WQS) for pathogen indicators. 1.
