  • On the Road Again ... Heading North

    On the Road Again ... Heading North

    Newsletter of The Delaware Bay Lighthouse Keepers and Friends Association, Inc. Volume 37 Issue 16 “Our mission is to preserve the history of the Winter 2018 Delaware Bay and River Lighthouses, Lightships and their Keepers” ON THE ROAD AGAIN ... HEADING NORTH Having never been to the Eastern Maritime Provinces of Canada, we decided to sign up for a nine day bus tour of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. After traveling north and going through customs, we crossed the US/Canadian border at Calais, Maine. Moving our watches one hour ahead to Atlantic Daylight Saving Time, we proceeded to the Hilton Hotel in St. John, New Brunswick. Our hotel was located on the Bay of Fundy noted for its drastic tide changes. The tide ebbs or rises one foot every 15 minutes. Another feature of this Bay is the “reverse falls;” when the tide ebbs, the water flows UP the falls…strange indeed. Two of New Brunswick’s earliest recorded lighthouses are both located on the Bay of Fundy. One, Campobello Island Light (a), was constructed on the island where President Franklin Roosevelt spent his summers. This lighthouse is accessible on foot only at low tide. The other located on the Bay of Fundy is the eight meter tall Cape Enrage Light built in 1848. The majority of Canadian lighthouses are red and white so they can easily be seen during the heavy winter snowstorms. New Brunswick boasts of over 90 lighthouses. We crossed from St. John, NB to Digby, Nova Scotia by ferry and continued on to Wolfville, NS.

A, With Many Illustrations, Index and Maps BUFFALO, N. Y. THE WENBORNE-SUMNER CO. I 90 I ^S6696 coptright 1901 bt The Wenborne-Su>iner Co. Press of The Wenborne-Sumner Co. Buffalo, n. Y. Preface. For more than two hundred years the Niagara region has been the most celebrated part of America. In the earlier period of our history it was the doorway to the upper lake region and the Mississippi Valley, for the possession of which French and English and English and Colonists struggled in turn. From a scientific point of view it has presented problems which have interested almost every geol- ogist of distinction, both in America and Europe. As a scenic wonder the Cataract has probably attracted more visitors than any other single natural object in the world. It is the purpose of this handbook to enable the visitor, whether his tastes be for the scenic, the scientific or the historical, to see Niagara from his own point of view, with the minimum outlay of time and money. The book is based upon the author's personal acquaintance with this region, which for thirteen years has been his field for study and recreation. It is issued solely in the interest of travellers whose needs have been, as far as possible, anticipated and provided for. Advertisements of all kind are strictly excluded from its pages.

September 2011 DeTour Reef Light First Lit November 10, 1931 80 Years Shining at the mouth of the St. Mary’s River In 1929, the U.S. Lighthouse Service authorized building a new lighthouse to be located offshore in 24 feet of water on the outer end of the DeTour Reef to mark a larger and dangerous shoal at the entrance to the strategic St. Marys River. Work began in early 1930 and was completed in late 1931. The con- struction of the offshore light was dependant on the weather in the area and the climate and exposed location, made the winter months unsuitable for construction efforts. This lighthouse replaced the on- shore light station (DeTour Point) with the staircase cylinder, circu- lar stairs, lantern, Fresnel lens, radio beacons, and fog signal relocat- ed from the 1861 onshore Detour Point Light Station. After 327 working days and at a cost of $140,000 the building of the DeTour Reef Light, a unique steel-framed square tower of three dis- tinct levels in Classical Revival architectural styling, was completed. On the evening of November 10, 1931 the new DeTour Reef Light was lit by the keepers who transferred from DeTour Point Light. Historian Chuck Feltner has identified the first keepers. They were W. S. Hall, Keeper, James Brander, K1A, Sterling Malone, K2A.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION: Ahnapee grew rapidly in the mid to late 1870s and became the home to the largest commercial fishing fleet on Lake Michigan. When the government would not approve a lighthouse to mark the entrance to the harbor, locals erected a couple of post lights at the outer end of the two piers at the harbor entrance. Congress finally appropriated money to build some range lights in 1891 to mark the entrance of the harbor at Ahnapee which was renamed Algoma. The light was built in 1892 after new piers were completed but the light was not lit until the beginning of the 1893 shipping season. The piers were unique in that they were split and off-set. There was not a single continuous pier. To get to the lighthouse a bridge had to be built to span the gap between the off-set portions. The range initially consisted of a front post light and a wooden skeletal tower rear range. In 1895 the rear range tower had an upgrade to the lens. A fifth order lens was installed that increased the range from 9 miles to 11 miles.
