U. S. Light-House Service District Charts

20178. [Light-House District Maps]. U. S. Light-House Service. c. 1900-1908. A rare opportunity to obtain early, official U. S. Light-House Service District charts of all district aids to navigation as bound in their Annual Reports. Normally these charts are included within the Annual Reports and we are unable to offer them separately but we have found a lot of disbound charts in wonderful condition. These are perfect for matting and framing for your wall. Charts detail the entire Light-House District in three colors, and show all lighthouses, beacons, light vessels, fog signals, lighted buoys, Light-House Depots, and more. Charts average about 14" x 18" in size with original folds and are clean and crisp - they will flatten and frame nicely for your wall. A rare chance to obtain the chart of your Light-House District for framing. (VG).

The foundation is square in plan, and is composed of iron screw piles; is surmounted by a wooden superstructure, with lantern above its centre. The height at the focal plane is about 45 feet above mean sea level. The illuminating apparatus is a lens of the fourth order of the system of Fresnel, showing a fixed light of the natural color, which in ordinary states of the weather should be visible from the deck of a vessel (ten feet above the water) about eleven nautical miles. The light-house will be lighted up for the first time at sun-down on the 10th of August next, and will be kept burning during that and every night thereafter until further orders. On the same day (August 10) the Merrill Shall Bank light-vessel will be removed from her station and will not be replaced. By order of the Light-house Board: Wm. F. Smith, Engineer Secretary, Office of the Light-House Board, Washington, July 9, 1860." Clean, crisp save three coffee-like spots, with original light folds. 8" x 13 ½". (VG) $148 net.
