    Turn Point Light Station Improvements OR134-07-EA-013 Turn Point Light Station Improvements Environmental Assessment OR134-07-EA-013 Spokane District, Wenatchee Resource Area Introduction The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing site improvements on public lands it manages at Turn Point Light Station. The Turn Point Light Station is located on Stuart Island in the San Juan Islands, Washington. The Light Station is located in San Juan County and is in the Wenatchee Resource Area. The legal description is Township 37 North, Range 4 West, Section 20. The public lands at Turn Point Light Station are administered by the BLM’s Spokane District, Wenatchee Resource Area, Lopez Island Office. Background Turn Point Light Station came under BLM administration after the transfer of facilities from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) in 1991. The BLM initiated plans to preserve and stabilize the Historic structures. Many of these plans have been implemented. A new cedar shingle roof on the Keeper’s Quarters was installed, an interpretive sign was placed, and a composting outhouse was constructed in 1992. The historic structures were repaired and repainted in 1995 and two of the three water tanks, higher on the hill to the south, were removed in 2002. During the summer of 2005 work was completed to clean up the structures and prepare for the next phase of rehabilitation. The site is eligible for inclusion into the National Register of Historic Places. The property is an example of a historic light station serving as an Aid to Navigation in Puget Sound for over 100 years.

  • Look for FLA on Facebook and Instagram! December 2016
    Look for FLA on Facebook and Instagram! December 2016 President’s Message—December 2016 As the Holiday season approaches I reflect on two recent events I experienced on the west coast of Florida. I stood with the d'Amicol family on Seahorse Key dock as they spread David's ashes and said goodbye. David was a huge supporter and advocate for the Cedar Key Light Station and left us well before his time. It was fitting for David to become a part of the island he loved and treas- ured. The next day I was at the Discover the Island event on Egmont Key. We had FLA volunteers drumming up interest and hopefully new members for our organization. The weather was beautiful and turnout was great for the two-day event. True, we didn't get many people actually joining that day but they took away some FLA tokens and one lucky drawing winner received a one-year membership. My reason for talking about these events is one day we said goodbye to a lighthouse friend and I still ask myself who will replace him? The next day, I was part of a group telling visitors about FLA and encouraging them to join and/or buy a license plate. It was interesting to hear folks say they didn't know we exist or how much we support Florida lighthouses. Most came away with a bit more knowledge and hopefully a lot more interest in our organization. I now realize the an- swer to my question just might be one of the people we speak with at our membership-drive events.

INTRODUCTION During the spring and fall of 1979 and spring of 1980 icthyoplankton surveys were conducted in the Miramichi Bay of New Brunswick and the northern Northumberland Strait area - Gulf of St. Lawrence (Figure 1). The objective of these surveys was to determine the distribution and abundance of herring larvae, however, other species of fish larvae were also collected. Twenty-one species were identified during these collections. Due to the scarcity of references on larval fish in this area, ident­ ification of the species was not easy. The only available reference on fishes in the Miramichi Bay is by McKenzie (1959).

  • U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office
    U.S. Coast Guard Historian’s Office Preserving Our History For Future Generations Historic Light Station Information MARYLAND BALTIMORE LIGHT Location: South entrance to Baltimore Channel, Chesapeake Bay, off the mouth of the Magothy River Date Built: Commissioned 1908 Type of Structure: Caisson with octagonal brick dwelling / light tower Height: 52 feet above mean high water Characteristics: Flashing white with one red sector Foghorn: Yes (initially bell, replaced with a horn by 1923) Builder: William H. Flaherty / U. S. Fidelity and Guarantee Co. Appropriation: $120,000 + Range: white – 7 miles, red – 5 miles Status: Standing and Active Historical Information: This is one of the last lighthouses built on the Chesapeake Bay. The fact that it was built at all is a testimony to the importance of Baltimore as a commercial port. The original appropriation request to Congress for a light at this location was made in 1890 and $60,000 was approved four years later. However, bottom tests of proposed sites showed a 55 foot layer of semi-fluid mud before a sand bottom was hit. This extreme engineering challenge made construction of a light within the proposed cost impossible. An additional $60,000 was requested and finally appropriated in 1902. Even then, the project had to be re-bid because no contractor came forth within the allotted budget. Finally, the contract was awarded to William H. Flaherty (who had built the Solomon’s Lump and Smith Point lights). The materials were gathered and partially assembled at Lazaretto Point Depot, then towed to the site and lowered to the bottom in September 1902.
