lighthouse of the flit and surfur or the common match in a simple
Jurisdiction of Lighthouses - would such be The United States Coast
Guard, the nex question would such be the United Department of
Agriculture of when to put the match out as refer to Forest Service -
then comes The United States Navy - in the fact that The original
Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Gulf of California or Gulf of Mexico
lets not forget Saint Lawrence PASSAGE not to be wayside and lets know
The Great Lakes others would say Boston Harbor and some Harbors to
Islands near or far off - if a mass of a sailing ship is at least 90
feet above the ocean, seas or Gulf not to forget Lakes or PASSAGES
thinking in such simple review such mass on clear day would be seen 11
miles away if one use a 6000 foot type mile then still such is 11
miles away - build a Lighthouse double the height of the mass of The
Sailing vessel then were in United States Navy Jurisdiction so in that
reason the match to light the lamp for foreward into the Light for the
switch or Lamp is United States Navy Jurisdiction - The 200 miles
Coast line is a Fishing Jurisdiction which includes crabs and other
shell fish which has a small political approach into Commerce but
since Commerce Navy is a Merchant type of Navy in such is not a true
Admirality type but into Commondore move in seas which is slave into
Admirality in such Jurisdiction battle is in our Youngest Lighthouse
and such rest that a "FLASH LIGHT" is authorized in ALL Lighthouses to
use with Fuel Lamps and or Light of The Lighthouse switch or otherwise
of The United States Navy Property of The United States of America -
Description: Oak Island Lighthouse is an intriguing mixture of old and
new, tradition and innovation. The present structure, completed in
1958, is one of the most recent lighthouses built on American shores.
Although the current lighthouse is young, attempts to illuminate this
particular stretch of water have been made for over two hundred years
but have been thwarted by hurricanes, war, and changing shipping
routes.
In 1761 a hurricane carved out an inlet near the mouth of the Cape
Fear River, which soon became the most popular route to Wilmington,
North Carolina's largest port. Because of the increased traffic in
this aptly named "New Inlet," two range lights were built on Oak
Island, located on the west side of the river mouth. First lit on
September 7, 1849, these lights were often referred to as the "Caswell
Lights" because of their nearness to Fort Caswell.
Unlike the other Cape Fear River range lights, the Caswell Lights were
free-standing brick towers, with a separate 1 ½ story cottage for the
keeper. The original brick beacons were in use only a few years before
the Civil War extinguished all the lights on the Carolina coast. Both
range lights were destroyed by retreating Confederate troops, who
preferred to blow up the structures rather than see them fall into
Union hands.Of course interested parties had no intention of allowing
New Inlet to remain dark for long, and in 1865, plans for new Oak
Island range lights were drawn to include a front beacon, standing
twenty-seven feetabove sea level, and a rear beacon, a sophisticated
four-level structurewith living quarters.
These plans, however, were apparently abandoned, as the lightsthat
finally were rebuilt in 1879 were quite different. The front range
light was a wooden tower attached to a sixteen-foot high brick
foundation , which still standstoday, and the rear light was a simple
structure mounted on skids so it could be moved with the shifting
channel. The keeper's dwelling was a separate, two-story house.
Unfortunately, like their predecessors, these range lights survived
less than 20 years. Another hurricane in 1893 damagedthe front beacon
and keeper's house beyond repair. But this time, because changes in
shipping routes had decreased the number of vessels along that part of
the Cape Fear River, the damaged range lights were decommissioned with
noplans to repair them.
Although there was less traffic through New Inlet, ships trying to
navigate the dangerous Frying Pan Shoals still needed a strong
coastallight. The Lighthouse Board petitioned for funds to equip Bald
Head Lighthouse as a coastal light,but when Congress finally did
appropriate funds, they were for a new Cape Fear Lighthouse, a
150-foot tower built on Bald Head Island. Outfitted with a first-order
Fresnel lens, this lighthouse was completed in 1903, and functioned
until the current lighthouse was built on Oak Island in 1958.
As the last lighthouse built in NorthCarolina, Oak Island Lighthouse
is as durable as they come. Twenty-four concrete-filled pilings
penetrate 67 feet into the ground to provide a solid foundation.
Capping the pilings is an octagonal concrete base measuring 30 feet
wide and three feet deep. The toweritself is 158 feet tall, made of
solid, eight-inch thick reinforced concrete. During its construction,
atemporary concrete mixing plant was set up next to the
constructionsite and operated continuously for six days. The concrete
was poured into a moveable form that was slowly raised by jacks.
The three bands of color distinguishing the lighthouse also speak of
modern innovation and durability. For the first forty feet ofthe
tower, workers poured natural gray cement; the next fifty feet they
used a mixture of white Portland cement and white quartz aggregate,
and for the final fifty feet they mixed black paint with thecement.
The result is a monolithic tower with three distinctive bands that
never need repainting.
Unlike traditional lighthouses, Oak Island Lighthouse has no spiral
staircase; instead the keeper must climb a series of ships ladders
with a total of 134 steps. Tools are hauled to the top in a metal box
attached to a long pulley. The aluminum lantern room houses four
1000-watt aerobeam lights that had to be installed by two Marine Corps
helicopters. With its 2.5 million candlepower lights flashing
intermittently and visible 24 miles out to sea, Oak Island Light is
one of the most powerful lighthouses in existence.
On May 15, 1958, eighty-five-year-old Captain Charles N. Swan, who was
born at the Amelia Island Lighthouse, served aboard the Frying Pan
Shoals Lightship, and was keeper of the Cape Fear Lighthouse on Bald
Head Island from 1903 to 1933, threw the switch to activate the 14
million candlepower Oak Island Lighthouse.
