Running Lights Page 6 July 2015 U.S. Coast Guard Releases 2014 Boating Statistics Report On 13 May 2015, the U.S. Coast Guard released its 2014 Recreational Boating Statistics. Highlights of the report: The Coast Guard counted 4,064 accidents that involved 610 deaths, 2,678 injuries and approximately $39 million dollars of damage to property as a result of recreational boating accidents. Compared to 2013, the number of accidents increased 0.05%, the number of deaths increased 8.9%, and the number of injuries increased 2.2%. Where cause of death was known, 78% of fatal boating accident victims drowned. Of those drowning victims with reported life jacket usage, 84% were not wearing a life jacket. And 77% of deaths occurred on boats where the operator had not received any boating safety instruction. Only 12% percent of deaths occurred on vessels where the operator had received a nationally-approved boating safety education certificate. Eight out of every ten boaters who drowned were using vessels less than 21 feet in length. Alcohol use is the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating accidents; where the prima- ry cause was known, it was listed as the leading factor in 21% of deaths. The most common types of vessels involved in reported accidents were open motorboats (47%), personal watercraft (17%), and cabin motorboats (15%). The vessel types with the highest percentage of deaths were open motorboats (47%), canoes (13%), and kayaks (10%). The 11,804,002 recreational vessels registered by the states in 2014 represent a 1.7% de- crease from last year when 12,013,496 recreational vessels were registered. Visit the link below for the complete report. www.uscgboating.org/library/accident-statistics/Recreational-Boating-Statistics-2014.pdf The USCG released its first Boating Safety Mobile App Features of the mobile app include: state boating information; a safety equipment checklist; free boating safety check requests; navigation rules; float plans; and calling features to report pollution or suspicious activity.

  • Door County Place Names Project of the Peninsula Genealogical Society to James Halstead (1926 -2000)
    Copyright 2005 by the Peninsula Genealogical Society 477 No. 6th Ave. Sturgeon Bay WI 54235 e-mail address: [email protected] Dedication We wish to dedicate this The Door County Place Names Project of the Peninsula Genealogical Society to James Halstead (1926 -2000). He was one of our dedicated charter members during the creation of this project but more than that, his great knowledge of Door County and his willingness to share that knowledge and perfect the final locations of so very many of the places herein has made this project one that we know will be of great help to researchers in and of Door County Wisconsin. “We hope you are pleased with the final project, Jim!” Introduction We have had many deterrents along the way but have not given up what we feel is a project worth doing and after fifteen years of waiting, the PGS Door County Place Names Project has finally been completed. While working on a Door County Research Guide in the beginning of The Peninsula Genealogical Society’s infancy around 1990, the need for a Door County Place Names Project became apparent. Many old names of places in the County were unknown as to location on the maps of our time. Family history researchers had old letters indicating places long lost to recent knowledge, so the Society began to gather names with their locations with the plan to include them in the Research Guide. That place names part of the Research Guide was becoming a massive undertaking and one to be a project worthy to stand on its own.
