2986. Kagawa, Ron M. and J. Richard
Kellam. Cobb's Island, Virginia : The Last Sentinel. Virginia
Beach. 2003. 128 p. DJ. This one is definitely a sleeper – once I picked it up
I was unable to put it down. Cobb's Island, Virginia: The Last Sentinel,
co-written by Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture Ron Kagawa and J.
Richard Kellam, charts the history of the now-barren Virginia barrier island
that was once a flourishing hunting and fishing resort and home to the first
U.S. Life Saving Service facility there. However, 99% of the history there
relates directly to the Life Saving Service and early Coast Guard there. From
cover to cover, the authors trace the work of the life-savers on the island, and
particularly the history of the 1875-76 life-saving station and later Coast
Guard stations there, their modifications over the years and finally
moving of the Coast Guard station in its entirety to the mainland between
1997-2001. The book is chock full of vintage photographs, architectural plans
and much more. Well worth a place in your library. The book is now out of print
but we have been able to obtain a quantity of copies, new, never opened. (M).

21391. Roberts, Norma Elizabeth and Bruce. CAPE
HENRY - First United States Lighthouse - First Landing. 2001.
20p. Soft wraps. This well-researched booklet tells the history of the
1792 old Cape Henry Lighthouse and the first landing of the Jamestown
colonists at Cape Henry. Cape Henry Light was the first federally funded
lighthouse built after the colonies gained independence. Cape Henry was
also the site of the celebration ending the existence of the U.S.
Lighthouse Service, then known as the Bureau of Lighthouses. In a U.S.
Coast Guard ceremony here in August 1939, Commander Waesche announced the
merger of the coast guard and lighthouse service. As you would expect from
these well known authors, this booklet is accompanied by wonderful
archival photos and a detailed text. (M). $4.95.

Hurley, George and Suzanne. SHIPWRECKS
AND RESCUES ALONG THE
BARRIER
ISLANDS
OF
DELAWARE
,
MARYLAND
AND
VIRGINIA
.
Ocean
City
. 1984. 176 p. Soft wraps. Nicely done, this is a story of islands and
shipwrecks and heroes. It is an attempt to record and document a part of
a colorful segment of the historical heritage that has been left to
those who live on the coastal archipelago of
Del
aware
,
Maryland
and
Virginia
. The author’s research involved the
United
St
ates
Life-Saving Service in the area, which preceded the
U.S.
Coast Guard. Wrecks from 1875 to 1914 are featured along with rare
photographs of the life-saving stations, surfmen and shipwrecks. Little
evidence remains on the islands that would attest to the
contributions made toward a proud past: a lonely tombstone in a pine
grove at Green Run, a fallen and twisted
fla
g tower at Pope’s Island, a crumbling brick foundation at Broadwater,
the collapsed and decaying remains of an old station house on Cobb’s
Island
, refurbished lifesaving stations at Ocean City and Indian River Inlet,
and an unknown sailor’s cemetery plaque at Lewes. Superb rare early
photos illustrate the many stations and wreck scenes and extensive
tex
t tell the tale. A valuable addition to your library. Long out of print
and quite difficult to find. (VG+). $58.

11374. (photo) First
Order Fresnel Lens, Assateague Island, Virginia c.1972. Clear, close
original 8” x 10” press photo shows great detail of the large first order
lens and lamp from Assateague Island lighthouse. The first-order Fresnel lens
that was at the Assateague lighthouse from 1867–1963 has been restored and is
housed at the Oyster and Maritime Museum in Chincoteague. The lens is owned by
the U.S. Coast Guard and is being loaned to the museum. Nice detail. Photo is
b/w and includes date and credit line and description on back, some cropping
marks. Dated December 6, 1972. Clear and close view. (VG+). $28.
29227. (photo) First-Order
Lighthouse Lens From The Hog Island Lighthouse c.1950. This
first-order lens is pictured while on loan to the Mariners Museum in the
1950’s. The lens, the second largest lighthouse lens in the United
States stands 10 feet tall and weighs 2,500 pounds. 368 prisms make up the
reflective body of the lens. The first Hog Island Lighthouse was built in
1852 on what was the southern end of Hog Island, the northern most part of
the natural barrier islands between the Virginia’s Eastern Shore and the
Atlantic Ocean. By the 1920s the ocean had eroded much of the island and
in the 1930’s a hurricane claimed even more of the land. The 10-foot
high lens, a first order produced by the Henry-LePaute company in France,
was removed from the lighthouse before the final destruction of the
facility in 1948. The land the lighthouse stood on is now
underwater. The southern end of the island is no higher than 12 feet now.
Now only an abandoned Coast Guard station and a watchtower remain. Today
the lens is preserved in a beautiful exhibit pavilion in downtown
Portsmouth, Virginia. Photo is b/w, measuring 5 ½” x 9 ½”. Clean,
clear, great image. (VG+). $54.
28320b. (news photo) U.S.
Lighthouse Service, Airways Division, Airport Beacon, Naval Air Station, Hampton
Roads, Virginia c.1920’s. The Air Commerce Act of 1926, provided
for the encouragement and use of aircraft in commerce, under the Secretary of
Commerce. The Airways Division was set up as a part of the Lighthouse Service,
and F.C. Hingsburg was appointed Chief Engineer, Airways Division. Mr.
Hingsburg was previously Superintendent of Lighthouses on general duty, and had
been connected with the Lighthouse Service since 1911. Early b/w photo measures
6 ½” x 8 ½” and shows a close, clear view of the beacon lens mounted high
on the skeleton iron tower. Photo by “International Newsreel”. Light
soiling, remains of paper caption on edge. Extremely rare aspect of early
Lighthouse Service duties, such photos are almost non existent. (VG). $145.
2120. [newspaper] PROPOSALS FOR A LIGHT HOUSE CAPE
HENRY, VIRGINIA. Massachusetts Spy or the Worcester Gazette. October
28, 1790 by Isaiah Thomas. Lengthy full column article details the new stone
light-house and dwelling to be constructed at Cape Henry. Detailed article
discusses the design and construction specifications of the tower, lantern,
keeper’s quarters, and fitting up the tower with eight hanging lamps, each of
six quarts capacity. Most interesting with a great deal of extremely early
lighthouse design information. Interesting too is that this newspaper, the
Massachusetts Spy, is an extremely important paper in the history of the United
states. During the Revolutionary War, Isaiah Thomas used his paper as a forum
for anti-British sentiment in New England, feeding the fires of the Revolution.
Full issue with additional articles of the day, light browning and foxing,
original folds, but in unusually good condition considering the age. (VG). $68.

25158. Evans-Hylton, Patrick. LIGHTHOUSES
AND LIFESAVING STATIONS OF VIRGINIA. Arcadia Publishing. 2005. 128 p.
Soft wraps. Created as navigational tools, lighthouses are of interest to more
than mariners; the ruggedly romantic nature of the beacons delights and
enthralls thousand of admirers. Lights along the Virginia coast are no
exception. From the richly historic Old Cape Henry Light, authorized by
President George Washington in 1789, to the candy-striped Assateague Light on
the state’s Eastern Shore, lights along the Virginia shore enthrall thousand
of admirers. Of equal interest are the tales of the men of the United States
Life-Saving Service, the forerunner of today’s Coast Guard. Spaced along the
shore, they aided navigation by responding selflessly to ships in distress,
often at their own peril. Author Patrick Evans-Hylton has collected more than
200 archival images that capture the illuminating history of the silent
sentinels of the sea and the valiant stories of heroic keepers and surfmen. (M).

29371. Murphy, Mary. Preservation
Values in the United States: A Case Study of Three Lighthouses. Masters
Thesis. Texas Tech University. 2007. 142p. This study is an analysis of the
preservation values evident in three historic lighthouses: The Roanoke River
Lighthouse in Plymouth, North Carolina; the Old Plantation Flats Lighthouse in
Cape Charles, Virginia; and the Old Roanoke River Lighthouse in Edenton, North
Carolina. These three lighthouses are compared and analyzed according to the
preservation values set forth by Austrian historian Alois Riegl in his essay
"The Meaning of Monuments and Their Historical Development" and the
values implied in the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties. This study serves four purposes: First, this study
establishes the relationship between Riegl's preservation theory and the current
preservation guidelines in the United States. Second, this study presents the
histories and current conditions of three related historic lighthouses together
in a single work. Third, this study makes a recommendation of treatment for the
Roanoke River Lighthouse in Edenton based on Riegl's preservation theory.
Fourth, this study concludes with a summary regarding the current state of
preservation theory in the United States, and of lighthouse preservation in
particular. Filled with photographs, drawings and illustrations. Worthwhile
reading, and an interesting source of reference for those interested in similar
restorations. Available in: High quality paperback ($124) spiral bound
($32) or as PDF on disc ($24).
