6332-27. Lighthouse Board. LIST OF BEACONS, BUOYS, AND DAY-MARKS ON THE COAST AND IN THE SOUNDS, BAYS, RIVERS, AND HARBORS IN THE FIRST LIGHT-HOUSE DISTRICT EXTENDING FROM AND EMBRACING PORTSMOUTH, N. H., TO EASTPORT, MAINE. Corrected to December, 1856. Wash. 1857. 58 p. Without wraps, in early library binding. Probably one of the first such light lists following the 1850 Act of Congress prescribing the manner of coloring and numbering of buoys along the coast, making this extremely rare. Includes all of the coastline of the First Lighthouse District from the the Canadian border to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Includes descriptions of lights and bell boats (light vessels), buoys, fog signals as well as other important information. Includes location, color, description of structure, bearings, and more. Contents unusually clean and intact, stiff library wraps worn but intact. Very difficult to find these early lists and well worth the search. Excellent resource. (VG-). $64.
