The terms and their definitions have been selected because they are perceived to be of specific cartographic interest and are expected to improve cartographer's understanding of nautical chart compilation. The terms may be encountered on nautical products, in source material received into the charting program, or through archival research. An attempt has been made to exclude contradictory, controversial, incomplete, and duplicate definitions. Multiple definitions for a single term have been given when deemed appropriate. The definitions are extracted from the most authoritative sources of information available, both published and unpublished, with deletions in some instances but without other revision. These sources include texts, glossaries, technical reports, and other similar documents. The numbers in brackets following the definitions, i.e., [1], refer to the source references list.

  • The Portland Breakwater Light Station by Wayne Wheeler
    Reprinted from the U. S. Lighthouse Society's The Keeper's Log — Spring 2004 <www.uslhs.org> The Portland Breakwater Light Station By Wayne Wheeler n most countries lighthouses were first constructed to mark harbor entrances. The great Pharos lighthouse in Egypt marked the port of Alexandria. One of the first Roman light- houses lead mariners into Rome’s port of Ostia and in America the first colonial lighthouse was constructed at the mouth of Boston’s harbor. In fact, eleven of our colonial light- houses marked harbor entrances, only the Cape Ann Light Station on Thacher Island warned of an obstruction. As our system of aids to navigation evolved, additional aids were constructed to better define harbor entrances. They included small post lights, buoys and lesser light stations. The Portland Breakwater Light Station was one of those minor light stations and one that assisted mariners to navigate the shoal-laced approach to the harbor at Portland, Maine. In November 1831, a fierce northeaster wreaked havoc on Portland’s exposed harbor. The storm, coupled with a high tide, caused widespread damage in the harbor. Vessels’ mooring lines were parted, piers were destroyed and several buildings were carried away. The amount of damage caused local citi- zens, merchants and mariners to petition for a protective breakwater to protect the port from future storms. Congress authorized the Army Topographical Engineers to survey the harbor and recommend improvements. In 1833, a report was submitted which recom- mended the construction of a breakwater along the southern side of the of the inner harbor’s entrance.

Work began in 1860 but was suspended during the Civil War. The current structure was completed and lit in 1867. The keeper's quarters built in 1867was a duplex. In 1892 it was remodeled with three large sections of six rooms each to house three families with each section including a pantry, kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms, bathroom, and large closet.
