Notwithstanding, we are proud to announce that despite our Museum closure back in mid-March, we have accomplished some exciting on- line/ virtual public programs: Two Zoom lectures -“Lights, Camera, Action - tips on photographing a Lighthouse!” with special thanks to Todd Vorenkamp -“The Union Blockade during the American Civil War” - with a big thanks to our lecturer, Wade R.Goria, featured in a three-hour series, thanks to the generosity of cinematographer, Jon Roche, Oliver Anderson, 2nd Camera, and editor, Daniel Amigone Twelve” Lighthouse of the Week” virtual Tuesday presentations, with a special thanks to Kraig Anderson creator of lighthousefriends.com and coordinated by Jean Coombs.

    Sandy Hook Lighthouse. the Facts, Mystery and History Surrounding

    National Park Service Gateway National Recreation Area U.S. Department of the Interior Sandy Hook Unit Sandy Hook Lighthouse The Facts, Mystery and History Surrounding America’s Oldest Operating Lighthouse Talk about “All in the Family”: Keeper Charles W. Patterson was in charge of Sandy Hook Lighthouse for 24 years. He had four brothers who served in the union army during the Civil War. Charles also tried to enlist in the army but was turned down for medical reasons. He then applied for an appointment to become a lighthouse keeper and was appointed keeper of Sandy Hook Lighthouse in 1861. Charles probably helped his sister, Sarah Patterson Johnson, get the job of Assistant Keeper at Sandy Hook Lighthouse, who was appointed in 1867. Sarah later resigned her position to become a public school teacher at the Sandy Hook Proving Ground. Sarah was replaced as assistant keeper by Samuel P. Jewell, who was married to Emma Patterson Megill, who was related to Charles W. Patterson. Another relative working at Sandy Hook related to Charles was Trevonian H. Patterson, who was Sandy Hook Lighthouse & Keepers Quarters, located in the Fort Hancock area of the park. described in an 1879 article as having “lived at Sandy Hook since he was one year old, second lighthouse, after the Statue of in the New York Sun newspaper, dated knows every inch of the beach [at Sandy Liberty, to be lighted by electricity.

    Chronology of Aids to Navigation and the United States Lighthouse Service 1716-1939

    CHRONOLOGY OF AIDS TO NAVIGATION AND THE UNITED STATES LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE 1716-1939 by Truman R. Strobridge Former U.S. Coast Guard Historian Introduction In contrast to the four other military services, the U. S. Coast Guard, besides being humanitarian-oriented, has an unique historical, administrative, and organizational lineage. Although the name of this Service is relatively new, its history dates back to the First Congress of the United States. Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, recognized the need of a floating police service as part of the national fiscal organization and, in 1789, Congress passed an act regulating the collection of duties on vessels and imported goods. The following year, the construction of revenue cutters were authorized. The Service, however, had no statutory designation but was variously known as "the system of cutters," "Revenue Marine," "Revenue-Marine Service," and even "Revenue Service" until the title "Revenue Cutter Service" found its first statutory use in an act passed in 1863. In 1915, the "Life-Saving Service" was combined with the "Revenue Cutter Service"’ to form the United States Coast Guard. In 1939, the "Bureau of Lighthouses" was transferred to the U. S. Coast Guard and, in 1942, many functions of the "Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation" were transferred to the Service. This organizational evolution of the U. S. Coast Guard, as well as a brief history of the Service, is contained in "Coast Guard History", another article on the USCG Historian’s website. Although by law the U. S. Coast Guard is a branch of the Armed Forces of the United States at all times, it operates in the Department of Homeland Security in peacetime and with the Navy Department in wartime.
