Fate: Still in operation, now designated Neah Bay Keepers: George W. McAfee was appointed keeper on 9 JAN 1908 and was still serving in 1915. Remarks (history of the station and an account of the loss of two crewmen, 19 November 1908): As a result of the 1885 treaty between the United States Government and the Makah Indians, Waddah Island was set aside for military use on 9 June 1868. Previously occupied by three generations of a family; the current resident was Young Doctor, a crippled man who did most of the clearing of the island with modern tools and lived close to the site of the United States Life Saving Service. When he chose to sell the land, his asking price for the work on the island was $1,200; the government bought it for $755. According to sources, the original site of the U.S.L.S.S. station was established somewhere on the reservation, land initially reserved for the Department of the Interior, but was disestablished for reasons unknown. A typed copy of a roster 1 shows C.L. Willoughby as the keeper, who had experience as a seaman. He was born in California and was 22 years of age, appointed on 3 October 1879, and was eventually discharged.

    PREMUDA SPA COMPANY INFORMATION N 15/2015 SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Genoa, June 5, 2015 To: ALL VESSELS Subject: NRC - Washington State Contingency Plan Addendum The NRC Plan provides Covered Vessels with response planning, emergency communications, spill management and drill and exercise services, as well as the spill response capabilities required for complete compliance with Washington State contingency planning requirements. The NRC Plan is also designed for the use and information of owners, operators, demise charterers, agents, and supplementary spill management personnel during spills by Covered Vessels. The area of coverage for the NRC Plan is within the navigable waters of the State of Washington (as defined by WAC 317-05-020 (10)) with the exception of the Columbia River system. In the event of an oil spill or threat of oil spill, the Covered Vessel is required by Washington State regulations to take immediate action to protect life and property, and notify proper authorities. This includes, for example, personnel safety, preventing further damage, protecting wildlife resources, cleaning up the spill, and restoring the environment. The NRC Plan will assist the Covered Vessel in executing these functions by providing an emergency notification network and response services including pre-positioned equipment and personnel dedicated to immediate response, i.e., within two hours of notification -- given suitable safety conditions. When a spill occurs from a Covered Vessel, the NRC Plan provides for the prompt, safe and efficient containment, recovery, cleanup / restoration and interim disposal of all oil and oily debris. The NRC Plan also provides the Covered Vessel with a Spill Management Team (SMT) located within Washington State to ensure rapid on-scene response.

  • Bodie Island Lighthouse Restoration Nears Completion by Cheryl Shelton-Roberts
    Information on all North Carolina Lighthouses can be found at http://www.outerbankslighthousesociety.org and http://www.outer-banks.com/lighthouse-society Herbert Bamber, Lighthouse Engineer and Photographer – page 12 School donates to OBLHS – page 4 2012 Keeper’s Weekend – page 5 Volume XVIII Number 4 Winter 2012 Bodie Island Lighthouse Restoration Nears Completion by Cheryl Shelton-Roberts odie Island is the site of three lighthouses, two sites are now in Oregon Inlet. Why did Bodie Island rate so many Blighthouses? And why has the 1872 lighthouse earned mil- lions in restoration funding? John Gaskill lived at the Bodie Island Light Station for many years during the 1920s and ‘30s and helped his father, Keeper Vernon Gaskill, Sr. with his duties. John tells us in clear terms of the importance of this light to maritime trade before the advent of radio navigation: “Bodie Island Light was one of the most significant lights on the East Coast. It signaled southbound ships sailing close to shore and cruising towards Hatteras to turn out to sea. If a captain didn’t heed the light’s warning, his ship would wreck on Diamond Shoals about 35 miles south.” The lighthouse was completed in 1872 by supervisor of construction, Dexter Stetson. Stetson was a fine, New England builder who came on board with the U.S. Lighthouse Service to complete the tallest brick lighthouse in North America at Cape Hatteras. When Hatteras was complete, Stetson moved extra materials, workhouse, blacksmith, and brick layers to Bodie Island. This was the second of the country’s finest tall coastal lighthouses built during the Golden Age of Lighthouses that lasted roughly during the years post-Civil War until the 1890s.

    1 6430-S AMS FRAS S4792.1 2 SSB 6430 - S AMD - 124 3 By Senator Fraser 4 5 Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the 6 following: 7 "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the marine 8 waters located in and adjacent to the Strait of Juan de Fuca between 9 the state of Washington and Canada are some of the most pristine and 10 diverse marine waters in the United States and include irreplaceable 11 natural resources. The area includes such national treasures as the 12 Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the Olympic National Park, 13 is home to five federally recognized Indian reservations, holds one of 14 the largest sea bird colonies on the west coast, and is the habitat for 15 several threatened and endangered species. 16 The legislature also finds that the marine waters are of great 17 environmental and economic importance to not only the state of 18 Washington, but also to the people of Canada and the United States. 19 The legislature also recognizes that the marine vessel traffic on these 20 waters presents risks of accidents and oil spills which would be 21 devastating to the environment and to the economy. 22 The legislature recognizes that transits by commercial vessels 23 through the Strait of Juan de Fuca are projected by the United States 24 coast guard to increase by fifty percent from the year 2000 to the year 25 2025. Volumes of petroleum movement, including cargo and bunker oil, 26 are conservatively projected to increase by nearly four billion gallons 27 by the year 2025.
