Many of these lights remain active aids-to-navigation (“ATONs”), and continue to guide maritime traffic under their new stewards, in coordination with the USCG. 2016-2017 NHLPA Highlights Since the NHLPA program’s inception in 2000, GSA has transferred 137 lights to eligible entities. Public bodies, including non-profits, received 58 percent (79 lights) through stewardship transfers, while 42 percent (58 lights) were conveyed through public sales, generating over $7 million. In 2016: GSA conveyed five lights through stewardship transfers and transferred eight lights through public sales. The transfer of eight lights through public sales set the record as the largest number transferred by auction in a single year since the program’s inception. Gravelly Shoal Lighthouse was successfully resold after the initial purchase defaulted in 2015. Butler Flats Light In 2017: GSA conveyed one light through stewardship transfer, and transferred seven lights through public sales.

Over a thousand the Maine Lighthouse Program. The NHLPA was designed to lighthouses have been constructed in the United States since facilitate the transfer of historic lighthouses that are no longer 1716, although several have since been destroyed by natural mission-critical to eligible public entities (including non-profit or man-made disasters. organizations) or private individuals. These parties agree to maintain and care for the lighthouses so that they remain From 1789 until 1910, the United States Lighthouse cultural beacons for the future. Establishment managed our nation’s lighthouses. In 1910, lighthouse stewardship was transferred to the Bureau of Figure 1: NHLPA Timeline Lighthouses under the Department of Commerce. In 1939, the Bureau of Lighthouses merged with the USCG. The USCG is still responsible for maintaining lighthouses under Federal ownership, and for ensuring that ATONs associated with the lights continue to operate. For various reasons, such as cost and advances in navigational automation, the USCG may determine that the Federal Government does not need to retain ownership of some of these properties and declare them excess. This excess property can then be transferred to a new steward. However, USCG may retain the right to access the property to maintain the ATON until it is decommissioned. In addition, to be eligible for transfer, the lighthouse must be defined as “historic” in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act. Passed in 1966, the National Historic Preservation Act was intended to preserve historic and archeological sites in the United States. The term “historic” means that the property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, or the Keeper of the National Register has formally determined the light is eligible for listing. Prior to the NHLPA, historic lights were transferred to state or local agencies through the National Park Service’s (NPS) Historic Surplus Property Program or the Federal Lands to Parks Program. GSA also conveyed historic lighthouses as historic monuments through the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (Property Act). However, non-profit organizations were not eligible to receive a light through these conveyance programs, even if the group had spent significant time and money to rehabilitate and maintain a historic light station through a lease with the Coast Guard. In a series of events in 1990, the Island Institute of Rockland, Maine approached the USCG about acquiring Heron Neck Light, with the goal of repairing and preserving the light. By 1994, the USCG worked with Maine to create an expedited program to transfer several lights in Maine to local communities. The Maine Lighthouse Program was used to successfully transfer 28 lights to new stewards in just 6 years. 1 2016-2017 NHLPA Program Highlights Report NHLPA Program Roles and Responsibilities GSA, USCG, and NPS work together to ensure that the Those parties can then inspect the property during a site Federal government identifies the best steward available for visit and send in completed applications.

  • Appendix: Women Who Kept the Lights, 1776- 1947
    This PDF of the appendix of Women Who Kept the Lights was created for www. lighthousehistory.info and is copyrighted material Appendix: Women Who Kept the Lights, 1776- 1947 This appendix was initially based on the handwritten registers of lighthouse keepers and their assistants reproduced in National Archives microfilm publication no. M1373.1 Some of the handwriting in these registers was very difficult to read; for example, Ellis was read as Ellie, but corrected through correspondence. Nor could first names like Darrell be easily identified as masculine or feminine. This appendix does not include dozens of women who served for a period of months (less than a year) after a father’s or husband’s death, while they waited for the arrival of a new keeper. Nor does it include the hundreds of women who served as assistant keepers. Several of the women whose careers are detailed in this book, however, served as both assistant keepers and keepers. Two in particular—Kathleen Moore and Ida Lewis—began keeping the lights while still in their teens and spent most of their lives in lighthouses. Because their experiences as assistants have been recorded, those years are included in their chapters. The total number of women serving as principal keepers for more than a year and included in this appendix is 142; some have been added for the period both before and after the volumes listed above were recorded and were found in subsequent research; however, we do not include women who were assigned keeper duties after lighthouses were transferred to the U.S.

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.

Refer to www.HistoricPlacesLA.org for information on designated resources associated with this context as well as those identified through SurveyLA and other surveys.

INTRODUCTION The “Pre-Consolidation Communities of Los Angeles” context examines those communities that were at one time independent, self-governing cities. These include (presented here as themes): Wilmington, San Pedro, Hollywood, Sawtelle, Eagle Rock, Hyde Park, Venice, Watts, Barnes City, and Tujunga. This context traces the history of each of these cities (up to the point of consolidation with the City of Los Angeles), identifying important individuals and patterns of settlement and development, and then links the events and individuals to extant historic resources (individual resources and historic districts).
