Congress in 1901 therefore authorized $100,000, resulting in the construction of 11 lighthouses (seven in Southeast, four to the north and west) and eventually five more, with the last, Cape Decision near Sitka, fin- ished in 1932.

    CAPE SARICHEF INFORMATION BOOKLET Mid 60’s (This is a transcript of a copy provided by Bernie Holland) FORWARD This booklet was put together by the men of Cape Sarichef Loran Station to give you some idea of what to expect and maybe give you some helpful hints in your preparation prior to arrival. It is not to be construed as a directive or instruction but is simply an unofficial information booklet. The crew here live close together for a full year and see very few people from the world outside. It is necessary for you to realize that the othere men here are also separated from their families and friends and life aboard entails the same hardships for everyone. “Peaceful Co-=existence” is a requirement. Though you won’t believe it now, the tour will pass rapidly. I can not truthfully say it will pass “before you know it”, because if you ask anyone here, he can tell you exactly how many days he has left on the island. All hands are looking forward to meeting some “new blood”, especially the person you will relieve. www.loran-history.info UNITED STATES COAST GUARD LORAN TRANSMITTING STATION CAPE SARICHEF, ALASKA GENERAL INFORMATION BOOKLET TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I General Information A.
