  • 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.

    U.S. Coast Guard Historian’s Office Preserving Our History For Future Generations Historic Light Station Information VIRGINIA ASSATEAGUE LIGHT Lighthouse Name: Assateague Island Light Location: Southern end of Assateague Island Date Built: Established in 1833 with present tower built in 1867 Type of Structure: Conical brick tower with red and white stripes; Height: Tower is 145' with a 154' focal plane Characteristic: Originally a fixed white light, with a fixed red sector (added in 1907), changed to two white flashes every 5 seconds in 1961, visible for 19 miles. Lens: Original lens was an Argand lamp system with 11 lamps with 14 inch reflectors. The 1867 tower had a first order Fresnel lens with four wicks, now DCB 236. The Fresnel lens was made by Barbier & Fenestre, Paris 1866 Appropriation: $55,000 Automated: 1933 when changed to battery power Status: Open Easter through May, and October through Thanksgiving weekend every Friday through Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm; During June, July, August and September open Thursday through Monday from 9 AM to 3PM, last climb 2:30 PM call (757) 336- 3696 for information. Historical Information: The original light was built in 1833 was only 45 feet tall and was not sufficient for coastal needs so in 1859 Congress appropriated funds to build a higher, more effective tower. 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.

FOREWORD The IALA NAVGUIDE 2010 will be of interest and assistance to all organisations, training institutions and individuals who are associated with aids to navigation (AtoN). This sixth edition has been developed over the past four years (2006 – 2010), and represents a continuing commitment to excellence and clarity of presentation. A key change from the 2006 version is the focus on e-navigation in recognition of the extensive conceptual work done to date, the central role e-navigation is expected to play in the future work program of IALA and its impact on the way Competent Authorities provide an aids to navigation service to mariners in the longer term. The IALA Aids to Navigation Management (ANM) Committee has coordinated the review of the IALA NAVGUIDE. All sections have been reviewed and revisions made through expert input from all of the IALA Committees – ANM, Engineering, Environment and Preservation (EEP), e-Navigation (e-NAV) and Vessel Traffic Services (VTS). This NAVGUIDE is a tribute to professionals already very busy in their own organisations worldwide, who are happy to share their expertise with other members of the international maritime community to assist in reaching the ultimate goal of harmonization of maritime aids to navigation.
