  • On the Road Again ... Heading North
    Newsletter of The Delaware Bay Lighthouse Keepers and Friends Association, Inc. Volume 37 Issue 16 “Our mission is to preserve the history of the Winter 2018 Delaware Bay and River Lighthouses, Lightships and their Keepers” ON THE ROAD AGAIN ... HEADING NORTH Having never been to the Eastern Maritime Provinces of Canada, we decided to sign up for a nine day bus tour of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. After traveling north and going through customs, we crossed the US/Canadian border at Calais, Maine. Moving our watches one hour ahead to Atlantic Daylight Saving Time, we proceeded to the Hilton Hotel in St. John, New Brunswick. Our hotel was located on the Bay of Fundy noted for its drastic tide changes. The tide ebbs or rises one foot every 15 minutes. Another feature of this Bay is the “reverse falls;” when the tide ebbs, the water flows UP the falls…strange indeed. Two of New Brunswick’s earliest recorded lighthouses are both located on the Bay of Fundy. One, Campobello Island Light (a), was constructed on the island where President Franklin Roosevelt spent his summers. This lighthouse is accessible on foot only at low tide. The other located on the Bay of Fundy is the eight meter tall Cape Enrage Light built in 1848. The majority of Canadian lighthouses are red and white so they can easily be seen during the heavy winter snowstorms. New Brunswick boasts of over 90 lighthouses. We crossed from St. John, NB to Digby, Nova Scotia by ferry and continued on to Wolfville, NS.

  • Iron, Section 2 (Part 4: Historic Lighthouse Preservation)
    PRESERVATION TREATMENTS WARNING: Many of the maintenance and repair techniques described in this text, particularly those relating to cleaning and painting, are potentially dangerous and should be carried out only by experienced and qualified workmen using protective equipment suitable to the task. It may be necessary to involve a USCG engineer or architect, preservation architect, or building conservator familiar with lighthouse preservation to assess the condition of the iron and prepare contract documents for its treatment. Cast-iron and steel features such as gallery deck brackets, handrails, skeletal structures, pilasters and door pediments, window architraves, as well as textured, finished surfaces such as raised diamond pattern non-skid surfaces, are important in defining the historic character of the lighthouse (see Figures 20 and 21). It is essential that the character- defining features are retained during any treatment. It should also be noted that while cast iron is among the most durable of historic building materials, it is also the most susceptible to damage by improper maintenance or repair techniques and by harsh or abrasive cleaning methods. Therefore, all treatment should be executed using the gentlest means possible. In Part V., Beyond Basic Preservation, examples of treatments that are considered rehabilitation and restoration are illustrated and discussed. WPTC photo WPTC photo Figure 20. Figure 21. Part IV. B, Page 14 IRON Protection and Stabilization (Mothballing) Despite their inherent durability, a historic iron lighthouse that receives only minimal or no routine maintenance is highly vulnerable to decay if it is not protected and stabilized properly. To properly protect and stabilize a historic iron lighthouse, a thorough inspection and diagnosis of all iron features: caisson structures, cast-iron plate walls, decorative features (cornices, door and window surrounds, decks, etc.) should be performed using the inspection chart in the preceding section as a guide.

    Restoration Report Burnt Island Light Station Summer 2020 Property Owned by: State of Maine, Department of Marine Resources Project Funded by: Donations to Keepers of the Burnt Island Light Project Managed by: Department of Marine Resources, Bureau of General Services Report Written by: DMR Education Director, Elaine P. Jones Abstract On November 9, 1821, Keeper Joshua B. Cushing lit up the Burnt Island Lighthouse for the very first time. After his tenure, 30 other men followed his footsteps up those winding stairs into the lantern-room to illuminate Boothbay Harbor’s guiding light. This monument of hope and integrity has served mariners for nearly 200 years and its devoted keepers served it in return. However, in 1988 automation took away the last true lighthouse keeper, thus removing the love, attention, and financial backing that went into maintaining a lighthouse, keeper’s dwelling, and outbuildings. Built the year after Maine became a state, the lighthouse’s rubble-stone construction has never been altered making it Maine’s oldest “original” lighthouse. From afar and with a fresh coat of paint each year, the iconic beacon looked pretty good, but under a thick layer of stucco it was a different story. Not only had its 199-year-old mortar crumbled; its lantern-room and spiral stairs had rusted; its interior brick liner needed repairs; and surfaces inside and out needed paint. With its 200th Anniversary just one year away, there was no better time than now to restore the entire Burnt Island Light Station. It was high time to stop the deterioration and take action to preserve what was left and replace what was in disrepair.
