  • Stamp Flashes Number 14
    Number 14 – May, 2014 lighthousepassportclub.org Here Comes Summer! As we enter the summer months, lighthouse passport stamp collecting kicks into high gear. Passport orders from retail outlets indicate a growing interest in this hobby. We now have 1,300 Passport Club members and over 500 stamp locations. All of this is encouraging as your dollar donations continue to mount up and help preserve lighthouses and their history. Everywhere the U.S. Lighthouse Society tours, we find great enthusiasm for the program on the part of participating locations. The latest issue of Lighthouse Digest contains a nice article, called “A Passport to Lighthouse Fun & Preservation,” describing the program and its role in lighthouse preservation. We certainly hope that your summer travel plans include visits to lighthouses in pursuit of new stamps and award levels. Featured Multiple Stamp Location In past Stamp Flashes we have highlighted some locations that have more than one stamp for the same lighthouse. Here we highlight an example of a location that has stamps for a lens, a museum and a lightship. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Museum in Virginia currently has two different stamps for the Portsmouth Lightship (one at the lightship and one at the museum), two different stamps for the Museum itself and a brand new stamp for the Hog Island First Order Fresnel Lens, making this a five stamp location. The Museum is located on the waterfront at 2 High Street in Portsmouth. Remember that maritime museums with lighthouse exhibits, life saving stations and lenses can all be used to complete your passport book.

  • The Order of the Founders and Patriots of America – 1896
    THE ORDER OF THE FOUNDERS AND PATRIOTS OF AMERICA – 1896 The Coat of Arms The following article appeared on page 121, Volume VIII, number 59 of the Coat of Arms, the quarterly publication of the Heraldry Society of England. ―The Order of the Founders and Patriots of America is a unique order, and the only one of its type in the United States. Originally founded at Astor House in New York City on February 24th, 1896. It has societies in fourteen states, and a total membership of around 800. Its objectives are, briefly, to promote patriotism; protect and preserve documents and articles associated with United States history; and to collect and preserve records relating to the first colonists of the United States, their ancestors and descendants. The membership requirements are very rigid, being based strictly upon hereditary succession in the male line from the early settlers in America. The well-known American author, Cleveland Amory, in his humorous work WHO KILLED SOCIETY says of the Order ―Probably the most difficult of all patriotic societies to enter is the Order of the Founders and Patriots --- not because of any so-called Society ‗exclusiveness‘ but because of what, genealogically, is demanded. To qualify for membership, the applicant must be a man over eighteen years, of good moral character and reputation, who is lineally descended in the male line of either parent from an ancestor who settled in any of the Colonies now included in the United States of American prior to May 13, 1657, and one or all of whose intermediate ancestors, in the male line, who lived in the period of the American Revolution from 1775 to 1783, fought for the United States against Great Britain.

  • You Can Help Save the Lovells Island Oil House! & Come Back to the Friends of the Boston Harbor Islands
    Special Edition - September 2018 You can help save the Lovells Island Oil House! & come back to the Friends of the Boston Harbor Islands Hello, In 1902, the US Lighthouse Board provided funding to build three unique structures in Boston Harbor to guide ships that were arriving in Boston with goods, fish, and immigrants to the United States. These structures were Graves Light, and the Lovells Island and Spectacle Island Range Lights. Lovells Island Oil House Now, 116 years later, the Spectacle Island Range light is no more and the Lovells Island Range Light has disappeared. The Graves Light has passed into private hands and is being painstakingly restored by the Waller Family. There is one remaining structure associated with the Lovells Range Light: the Oil House (pictured). But it is slowly succumbing to the ravages of time. The Friends of the Boston Harbor Islands have joined forces with the Massachusetts DCR (Department of Conservation & Recreation) to save and preserve the Lovells Island Oil House. Join us and be part of this wonderful effort to save part of our maritime and island history! The Friends of the Boston Harbor Islands have been approved for a matching funds program with the DCR as well as a grant from the Boston Marine Society to preserve this piece of Boston's seafaring and island history. But we need your help. Please consider making a contribution of $75, $100 or more to the Oil House effort. Donors will receive a membership to the FBHI, plus a gift for participating. See the details on our web page.
