1 There are many ways to tell a story.

Part of our mission is to keep alive the maritime history of our Nation’s Oldest PortSM by telling its stories.

Well, we have two important stories to tell in our new exhibit, Wrecked!, which will be opening in May 2016.

We want everyone, especially our young- est visitors, to be able to connect with this unique shipwreck story and with the archaeological side of discovering, exca- vating and conserving shipwrecks.

That’s why we have added a new storyteller to our Lighthouse family—Star Waters!

Star is a curious, adventerous young student who will inspire a whole new generation of underwater archaeologists and explorers. Throughout the Wrecked! exhibit, you’ll see a series of vignettes called “Star Waters Wonders” which will ask questions that provoke our young guests to think more in-depth about science, history, math, and engineering.

So let our friend Star give you a sneak peek of the new exhibit (which is unlike anything you have ever seen at our Museum) in this special issue!

Dear Members, We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season. The blessing of being busy is always with us. We are about to break ground on a new Maritime Archaeology & Education Center with public viewing areas for shipwreck artifacts and handicap accessible learning spaces. A new exhibit is coming in the spring. Luminary Night is coming December 2nd! Our membership is larger than

ever! We are thankful for the privilege to work for you. We are blessed to know and serve you. All these blessings lead me to ponder what it would have been like during the holidays at the

Would they be expecting visitors from out of town? Perhaps family from Maine or Philadelphia was on the way? Visitors wishing to reach St. Augustine in the 1870’s would have embarked on steamships from Georgia and South Carolina. The steamer, Dictator, which was captained by the former Confederate privateer Louis Coxsetter, operated out of Charleston while the Lizzie Baker sailed from Savannah. These coastal steamers entered the St. Johns River after disembarking passengers in Jacksonville. At Piccolata, those bound for St. Augustine pressed into a stagecoach pulled by six horses. Imagine the bumpy ride to town

A flatbed boat waited at the San Sebastian to pull the coach Once in St. Augustine, visitors then boarded a wooden tramway to the island. This was pulled by a mule, but decorated by unbleached, cotton curtains. Picture them swaying in the breeze as the driver ferried passengers across the rickety bridge covering the marsh. From a stop at the back of the Light Station, there was an excited walk down the path to the keepers’ dwelling with its sloping porches. It would have been a delight to have arrived at your destination after such a journey, the whole family coming out to say hello and waking the baby with all the noise of arrival! It is my wish for all of you this holiday season that your travels are safe and happy! Enjoy time and celebration with family and friends in the spirit of peace and giving. We hope you’ll visit us at the Lighthouse with your guests, and enjoy Kate and William’s home as they would have wanted. We’ll keep the light glowing! Happy Holidays,

4 member spotlight: Judy Bechtold by Miranda Trew

Judy Bechtold has been a member of the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Mari- time Museum since July 2014. Since becoming a member, she has brought friends and family here to visit. Judy has also dedicated her time to the Lighthouse by becoming a volunteer. She is originally from Indiana, but moved to Florida in December of 1974, when she saw the ocean for the very

Tallahassee she came on many school first time! While raising her children in youngest son and his family moved to St.field Augustine trips to St. to Augustine.teach at the After Florida her School for the Deaf and Blind, Judy decided to move here to be closer to them. She became a member shortly after, bringing her grandchildren here so they could enjoy the history, too. One of the things she loves most about the Lighthouse is the view from her house. “The beautiful St. Augustine Lighthouse is always there in the sky as a stunning daymark and soothing night light.” Judy says that she loves the Lighthouse and wants to help preserve it and the history of the site. She also loves the views from the top of the Lighthouse and how they change from season to season. Judy’s favorite event that the Light- house puts on is our annual Luminary Night. She thinks the view of St. Augus- tine’s Nights of Lights is best from the top of the Lighthouse. She also enjoys, “being a role model for my grandchildren.” She wants to con- tinue to set an example of volunteering in her community, a lesson her family instilled in her as a child. When she is volunteering she loves hearing visitors say “Wow! I didn’t know that!” Currently Judy is shadowing tours, in hopes of becoming a docent herself very soon! 5 membership event fun Fact or Fiction Night ● Dark of the Moon tour ● State of the Museum Meeting

the “Storm Wreck” by the Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program (LAMP). Shortly thereafter, they were delivered to the Lighthouse with a number of other artifacts. The guns were then mechanically cleaned with hammers, chisels and pneumatic airscribes to remove the outer layers of sediment and marine growth, called concretion.

Excavation on the Storm Wreck has uncovered artifacts of all sizes, from a long gun cannon down to tiny

uniform buttons. Each piece tells a significant part of the story behind this wreck, but some of the smallest pieces hold the biggest clues. Of the buttons recovered from this 1782 British Loyalist shipwreck, some were attached to other artifacts and some were found by volunteers sorting through buckets of dredge spoil (a mix of shells, sand, and other small objects that are sucked up from the ocean floor during excavation). Here are a handful of the buttons we’ve recovered and the stories to which they were once stitched.

ADOPT AN ARTIFACT!

Just in time for the holiday season, you can give a unique gift that also helps support research and education at the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum. We have a list of artifacts including shipwreck items, Lighthouse keepers’ tools, and even our historic lens that can be adopted!

Your adoption contribution will help us provide critical preservation, conservation and care for each piece in our collection so that future generations will be able to experience it and the story it represents for years to come.

To find out more about artifacts available for adoption, contact our Director of Development, Michelle Adams at (904) 829-0745 ext. 212 or LEARN MORE ONLINE: www.staugustinelighthouse.org/AdoptArtifacts
