Bay Run Fall 2016 Newsletter of The Delaware Bay Lighthouse Keepers and Friends Association, Inc. Volume 28 Issue 15 “Our mission is to preserve the history of the Fall 2016 Delaware Bay and River Lighthouses, Lightships and their Keepers” TAKE THE CHALLENGE The Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey will take place October 15 & 16, rain or shine. It is a two-day “Fall Weekend of Family Fun”-- an opportunity to visit 11 land-based lighthouses, one museum, and two life-saving stations. The majority of these sites are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Par- ticipants will pay a $2 registration fee at their first stop and receive the first of 15 puzzle pieces. Every site will have its own unique piece that will serve as proof of your visit. If you complete the entire Challenge, you will have enough pieces to complete the puzzle. It will serve as a souvenir of your adventure. In addition, everyone who completes the Challenge will be included in a drawing where one lucky person will win $1,000 in prizes. (NOTE: All addresses have been included to help find these lighthouses.) Starting in the north, one of the first lighthouses to visit is Sandy Hook Light. Built in 1764, this is the oldest working lighthouse in the United States. Originally called the New York Lighthouse, it was built to aid mariners entering the southern end of New York Harbor. Restored in 2000, it is located on the grounds of Fort Hancock, 85 Mercer Rd., Highlands, NJ 07732. The Navesink Twin Lights is the first American lighthouse to test the Fresnel lens. It has two beacons, one flashing and one fixed. Constructed in 1862, the cur- rent lighthouse is located at 2 Lighthouse Road, Highlands, NJ 07732 in Navesink Highlands, 246’ above sea level. This lighthouse overlooks Sandy Hook Bay, the entrance to New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. Located at 9 Ocean Ave., Sea Girt, NJ 08750 in Monmouth County, Sea Girt Lighthouse was the first lighthouse in the US to host a radio beam in a shore in- stallation and the last shore lighthouse with a keeper’s residence built on the east coast. The light was automated in 1945 and deactivated in 1977. The Jersey Shore between Sandy Hook and Navesink Lighthouses, a distance of 40 miles, was unlit until the 1800’s when this lighthouse was erected. Barnegat Lighthouse affectionately known as “Old Barney” is a historic light- house located at 208 Broadway in Barnegat State Park, Barnegat Light, NJ 08006 at the northern tip of Long Beach Island. In 1855, George Meade was commis- sioned to build the lighthouse. Because of the strong currents in the inlet, the light- house was built 900’ away from the water but in 10 years, only 450’ separated the tower from the ocean. It was given to the State of New Jersey by the coast guard and is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The centerpiece of Tuckerton Seaport is Tucker’s Island Light. It was origi- nally located on an island but was destroyed by a storm in the 1920’s. It is now located at 120 W. Main Street, Route 9, Tuckerton 08087 in a working maritime village comprised of 40 acres. On the north end of Atlantic City is Absecon Lighthouse (continued on page 7) In This Issue: 2 - A Beam from the President’s Desk 3 - A Report from the Chairman of the Board & Veteran’s Day Thank You 4 - Peggy’s Corner & Deterioration of Harbor of Refuge 5 - Scholarship Winner and Update on Previous Winners 6 - Did You Know? & Mayflower II Returns 7 - Take the Challenge & Registry of Officers and Agents, 1863 8 - Spring Meeting at the Charlesworth, Mariner’s Continued from page 1 Weekend & National Lighthouse Day A BEAM FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK Page 2 Angelo S.

  • Garden State Preservation Trust
    COVERCOVERcover Garden State Preservation Trust DRAFT Annual Report INCOMPLETE FISCAL YEAR 2011 This is a director's draft of the proposed FY2011 Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust. This draft report is a work-in- progress. This draft has neither been reviewed nor approved by the chairman or members of the GSPT board. The director's draft is being posted in parts as they are completed to make the information publicly available pending submission, review and final approval by the GSPT board. Garden State Preservation Trust Fiscal Year 2011 DRAFT Annual Report This is the Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the Fiscal Year 2011 from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. It has always been goal and mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust to place preservation first. This report reflects that priority. The most common suggestion concerning prior annual reports was to give more prominent placement to statistics about land preservation. This report is structured to place the preservation data first and to provide it in unprecedented detail. Information and financial data concerning GSPT financing, recent appropriations and agency operations are contained in the chapters which follow the acreage tables. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2011 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15. It is also intended to be a comprehensive summary of required financial reporting from FY2000 through FY2011. This document updates the financial and statistical tables contained in prior annual reports.

It is so hard to believe we are still enmeshed in this pandemic, struggling to survive against all odds. As New York enters Phase 4, Museums, along with other indoor facilities, remain in lock down mode. Ready to get the go ahead, under the “new norm rules”, we have also received many requests for our seasonal lighthouse boat tours, but unfortunately each one - most recently our famed Signature- Ambrose Channel Tour, scheduled for Lighthouse Weekend - August 9th., had to be cancelled. 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.

  • 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.
