Dear Members and Friends, Our volunteer, Tim Jackson, just donated a remarkable, never before seen, Stereopticon view (circa 1874) of someone who may be Head Keeper William Russell. He is the light keeper who transitioned the St. Augustine Light Station from the old coquina tower to the current brick tower. In the photo (see below) you can see the current tower being built. Do you see the large building for housing the workers? This is not today’s Keeper’s House. Russell must be standing near the

I can almost see him in the old tower loading up the whale oil, carefully adjusting the wick and lighting lamps in the sleepy old tower for the last time. He knew that the next night he would walk the path to the new watchful sentinel, climb 219 freshly painted steps and light the lamp in the new lens. The brilliance of our lens shining new must have been awe-inspiring across the October night sky! Today at the lighthouse, we work hard to preserve this history. Tourists help us by providing revenue for fresh paint, helping hands and the discovery of new stories. This year our lighthouse family has experienced some major milestones. We also said goodbye to former museum director Cullen Chambers who worked here between 1989 and 1994. Cullen steered the Junior Service League (JSL) restoration of the Light Station and Fresnel lens to its present glory. I am proud and humbled to have called this bright, funny and amazing man a friend and mentor. He was a light who allowed others to shine. We miss him and will remember him always.

Federal government, the State of Florida and the St. Johns County Tourist Development This year, our staff really put their shoulders to the fly wheel and from the Council, we received grant awards totaling $ 1,033,631.00 for building preservation, exhibitions about maritime archaeology and advertising. We are building on that tremendous foundation given to us by Cullen and the women of the JSL. So, Happy 80th Birthday, JSL! Thank you for your continued support, love and spirit. Finally, we would like to thank State Senator John Thrasher, Representative Doc Renuart and Representative Travis Hutson for your leadership and care. We all look forward to discovering new stories in maritime history for a long time to come. We promise to continue to keep your light shining and to keep discovering new ways to share old stories about our shared past. Happy 190th Birthday St. Augustine Light Station! Here’s to many more!

he purpose of a museum is to By Barbara Holland TEverything within its grounds is de- signedtell to educate the history the ofpublic a specific on that topic. topic. Museums do this through the interpreta- tion of artifacts, oral histories and historical documents. These items are referred to as the museum’s collection and are used for exhibition, research and educational programs. The lighthouse museum’s focus is on the maritime history of St. Augustine from its earliest beginnings to the present. The collection is comprised of over 7,000 artifacts including wood working tools, photo- graphs, cannons, a breeches buoy, books, lenses and boat models. Of course, the largest and by far most val- ued piece in our collection is the lighthouse itself! All of the items in collections have been acquired over the years from the keepers and their families, the U.S. Coast Guard, local families and our own archaeologists. Many of the artifacts are placed on display for the public to view. We currently have exhibits that highlight the work of the keepers, the lives of their families and the wrecks off the coast. However, the whole collection cannot be displayed all at once. So, where are all of these pieces? The truth is, when you enter a museum as a visitor you see less than a quarter of what it has to offer.

How did lighthouse archaeologists use history, science and technology to search for the lost French fleet of 1565?

In the summer of 2014, lighthouse archaeologists set out to find Jean Ribault’s ill-fated French fleet. If found, these ships would be the most significant shipwreck discovery in the New World. But in the vast ocean, how do you even begin to search for a fleet of 449 year-old sunken ships?

25 “Storm Wreck” locked in Artifact Updates By Andrew Thomson

he first artifact I picked up and started conserving at LAMP has Talso turned out to be one of the more unusual pieces I have ever worked on. When artifacts are excavated, they typically go through a multi-stage conservation process to turn a muddled mass of sand, shell and historic material, called a concretion, into a recognizable object. First, the archaeologists thoroughly document and record the piece in situ. They then bring the artifact out of the water to photograph, document and draw it, and then put into storage. After arriving at the lighthouse conservation facilities, the concretion is then taken to be X-rayed to determine the size, shape and density of in process any remains inside the hardened sediment.

By Dr. Sam Turner

ur Heritage Boatworks was launched at the lighthouse in 2007. OThis all-volunteer group has been making traditional wooden watercraft ever since. A total of nine boats have been built at the boatworks to date, and there are three building projects ongoing right now, which, upon completion, will bring the total number of craft built in the boatworks to an even dozen. One of the ways the boatworks has sus-

through an annual boat drawing. This tained itself financially over the years is year’s drawing boat is a sailing Catspaw Dinghy. The drawing will be held on March 7, 2015, during our annual Lighthouse Night Fest. Readers interested in supporting heritage wooden boat building at the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Museum can help by obtain- ing tickets for the drawing. Tickets are available in the museum gift shop. Another ongoing project is the Yawl Boat. This boat is being built from a line drawing that was made in the year 1760 and located in the British archives by Howard Chapelle in the mid-twentieth century. Our copy of these lines was obtained from the Smithso- nian Institution. This craft is being made as one of the museum’s collaborative contributions to the Galveztown Replica Project. 28 lighthouse boatworks one of the very few boatworks in the country that can successfully undertake the construction of such complicated 18th century small craft. The third project currently underway at the boatworks is the construction of a replica Florida Skipjack. This particular boat was originally built on the St. Johns River near Jacksonville sometime between 1875 and 1880 by a Captain Watros.

What eventually became of the original craft is unknown. Like the Yawl Boat, the Skipjack is being build almost entirely of local cypress wood that was milled especially for this project at a sawmill in East Palatka, Florida.
