Extractions: For Immediate Release: September 28, 2002 http://www.doi.gov/lighthouses Secretary Norton Announces Next 20 Lighthouses Available Under National Preservation Program - Lighthouses in every region of the country up for new ownership- WASHINGTON Interior Secretary Gale Norton today announced 20 lighthouses under consideration to be transferred at no cost from the Coast Guard to new owners federal agencies, state and local governments, nonprofit corporations and community development organizations. Located in every region of the country, the lighthouses are the second set to be transferred by Norton under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Program, which she launched with six lighthouses in June. "This program has proven to be one of the most popular ones ever at the Interior Department, " Norton said, noting that a hotline had to be set up to handle the volume of calls. "Lighthouses seem to capture our imagination and many people are devoted to their preservation. "One of the outstanding features of this program is that it puts nonprofits on an equal footing with government in becoming partners in preserving lighthouses," Norton noted. "Sometimes private groups can do more than the federal government. They bring their enthusiasm and willingness to work endless hours to restore something they love."

Here, available again, is the comprehensive story of the lighthouses and lightships of Texas, first told in 1991 by historian T. Lindsay Baker and illustrated with watercolors by noted artist Harold Phenix. After introducing readers to lighthouses and their keepers in his first chapter, Baker provides ten more chapters, each one detailing a surviving Texas lighthouse and its construction, navigational service, and historical role. These include lights at Brazos Santiago, Point Isabel, Aransas Pass, Matagorda, Halfmoon Reef, Brazos River, Galveston Jetty, Galveston, Bolivar Point, Heald Bank, Sabine Pass, and Sabine Bank. The story of the lighthouses is one with a human face. Readers will meet the engineers, inspectors, and the men and women who served as lighthouse keepers on the remote Texas beaches.

Extractions: T he U nited S tates L ighthouse S ociety is a non-profit historical and educational organization incorporated to educate, inform, and entertain those who are interested in America's lighthouses, past and present. Modern technology has doomed the classic lighthouse. The Coast Guard, in its role as custodian, has automated all the light stations in this country and, in the process, has eliminated the need for operating personnel. Sterile, rotating aerobeacons on monopoles have replaced many of those proud coastal ladies of former years with their sweeping towers of brick and Victorian gingerbread. In selected cases, the Coast Guard is licensing some formerly-manned and discontinued light stations to qualified groups. Many of the light stations that were considered as no longer functional have been transferred to various states, counties, or to non-profit groups and are now serving as museums, bed-and-breakfast inns, or youth hostels. Although the almost 300-year-old era of manned light stations in this country has come to a close, those remaining symbols of our maritime heritage can, and should be, preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. With this in mind, the U.S. Lighthouse Society was founded to assist in the preservation of America's lighthouses and to help qualified groups in their efforts to return the nation's lighthouses to the public domain. . . . to assist in every possible way, the restoration and preservation of America's lighthouses.

Extractions: Lighthouses: Then and Now Over 200 years of lighting the way The care of lighthouses falls under the Short-Range Aids to Navigation Program, one of four programs administered by the Office of Navigation. Aids to navigation are external references that help mariners determine the position of their vessel and choose a safe course. Short-range aids include buoys, beacons, lights, lighthouses, sound signals and ranges. Today, expensive and environmentally-hazardous batteries are being replaced by solar power and automated lighthouses. The Office of Navigation The Radio-navigation Division, G-NRN, manages the Radio-navigation Program. This program includes Loran-C, OMEGA and a coastal radio-beacon system. The Loran-C system consists of 38 Coast Guard or host-nation staffed transmitting stations that provide coverage of the continental U.S., parts of the North Pacific Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. The coverage meets Department of Defense requirements. The Coast Guard also coordinates the operation of the OMEGA radio-navigation system. This system of eight stations located around the globe provides world-wide radio navigation coverage, but with less accuracy than Loran-C. Two OMEGA stations in North Dakota and Hawaii are Coast Guard staffed. Radio-beacons provide a positioning-fixing or homing capability in coastal and Great Lakes waters. There are more than 200 radio-beacon transmitters. The Waterways Management Program, WWM, is a relative newcomer. It was added to the Navigation Systems Safe Division, G-NSS, in 1986. The program oversees several waterways management services including traffic separation schemes, regulated anchorage areas, and the international and Inland Navigational Rules. It is also the program manager for Vessel Traffic Services.

Extractions: Make your OWN Lighthouse My name is Glenn Copeland. I am the "Head Lighthouse Keeper" here at Lighthouses and More. I've been designing and building lighthouses for over a decade and offering them for sale from my online business, www.lighthousesandmore.com. Although incorporated, I work alone and have been successful, almost too successful. I've had so many orders that there is now a six month waiting period for customer orders to be filled. It's disappointing to the customer to have to wait so long. It also puts a lot of pressure on this "retired" person to stay out in the shop working instead of doing lots of other things I like and need to do, like taking care of my yard, traveling to see family etc. So, to make lighthouses immediately available to all who want them, I wrote a set of detailed plans for making a six-foot cone shaped lighthouse. Then I engaged a professional CAD draftswoman, and asked her to computerize my design into drawings you can easily follow to make your own lighthouse. The neat part about it is that you can use the principles and techniques, scale them up or down, and make any size lighthouse you want . . . for you, your family, or your customers! The painting plan you choose makes it your favorite lighthouse.
