Flaherty / U. S. Fidelity and Guarantee Co. Appropriation: $120,000 + Range: white – 7 miles, red – 5 miles Status: Standing and Active Historical Information: This is one of the last lighthouses built on the Chesapeake Bay. The fact that it was built at all is a testimony to the importance of Baltimore as a commercial port. The original appropriation request to Congress for a light at this location was made in 1890 and $60,000 was approved four years later. However, bottom tests of proposed sites showed a 55 foot layer of semi-fluid mud before a sand bottom was hit. This extreme engineering challenge made construction of a light within the proposed cost impossible. An additional $60,000 was requested and finally appropriated in 1902. Even then, the project had to be re-bid because no contractor came forth within the allotted budget. Finally, the contract was awarded to William H. Flaherty (who had built the Solomon’s Lump and Smith Point lights). The materials were gathered and partially assembled at Lazaretto Point Depot, then towed to the site and lowered to the bottom in September 1902.

Lens: Original lens was an Argand lamp system with 11 lamps with 14 inch reflectors. The 1867 tower had a first order Fresnel lens with four wicks, now DCB 236. The Fresnel lens was made by Barbier & Fenestre, Paris 1866 Appropriation: $55,000 Automated: 1933 when changed to battery power Status: Open Easter through May, and October through Thanksgiving weekend every Friday through Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm; During June, July, August and September open Thursday through Monday from 9 AM to 3PM, last climb 2:30 PM call (757) 336- 3696 for information. Historical Information: The original light was built in 1833 was only 45 feet tall and was not sufficient for coastal needs so in 1859 Congress appropriated funds to build a higher, more effective tower. Work began in 1860 but was suspended during the Civil War. The current structure was completed and lit in 1867. The keeper's quarters built in 1867was a duplex. In 1892 it was remodeled with three large sections of six rooms each to house three families with each section including a pantry, kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms, bathroom, and large closet.

    Myjer Report

    New Point Comfort Lighthouse Conservation Plan Working Draft February 13, 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On May 19th 2008, Ivan Myjer of Building and Monument Conservation and Amy Cole Ives of Sutherland Conservation, working as a consultant to Building and Monument Conservation, surveyed the interior and exterior of the New Point Comfort Lighthouse. The survey team was assisted greatly by discussions with Earl Soles prior to the site visit and the accompaniment of Will Gwilliam on the trip to the island. The purpose of the survey was to assess the condition of the cast iron and masonry components of the lighthouse in order to develop preliminary recommendations for the stabilization, restoration and maintenance of the lighthouse. An additional goal of the assessment was to identify areas where additional study, probes or testing would be required in order to move from preliminary treatment recommendations to a final set of recommendations followed by construction documents. The current survey was restricted to observations of the above grade portions of the lighthouse as well as the surface conditions of the masonry and cast iron. Very limited probes were undertaken to remove small samples of mortar for analysis. The existing study scope did not include probes into the walls or non destructive testing to verify how the lighthouse was constructed and modified over time. The time spent on the island was limited to only a couple of hours due to the difficulty of landing the small craft at the dock or on the shore with the high winds that accompanied our visit. Our initial survey found that the lighthouse tower is basically sound but experiencing problems resulting from deferred maintenance and the ongoing weathering of the exterior sandstone facing units and setting/pointing mortars.
