This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bodie Island Coast Guard Station, Historic Structure Report, 2005 Travel by sea along the Eastern seaboard of the United States can be especially troublesome, but no section more so than the Outer Banks off North Carolina. The strong currents that allow ships to travel quickly also bring them close to shore. Shifting sands and notoriously rapid changes in weather have wrecked many a ship, thus earning the early moniker the graveyard of the Atlantic. Further north the conditions are not quite so severe, but can be treacherous nonetheless. Near the major ports of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, private groups formed as early as the 17803 to provide assistance to seafarers in danger. There were many public outcries for a nationally coordinated rescue effort, until in 1848 a New Jersey representative secured from Congress a allocation for a variety of assistance. As a result, eight stations were constructed there under the supervision of the United States Treasury Department; the federal government had officially become involved. Additional allocations followed rapidly, expanding the financial assistance to include states along the lower Atlantic shore as well as the Gulf. Soon, the life-saving Service within the Department of Treasury developed a prototype station design. In addition to keeper's and crew's quarters, a self-contained boat room for a lifeboat was a standard feature. Improvements were incorporated as new station types evolved adding an open observation deck to monitor the coastline then replacing it with an enclosed tower in a later type. During the early years, there was a variety of ancillary structures about the site including privies, water tanks and kitchen buildings. In North Carolina, the first stations built were the 1874 Type. Seven of these compact, two-story Carpenter Gothic style buildings were stretched out along the coast. Then in 1878-79, eleven of the 1876 Type stations were added as infill between the earlier stations, establishing a pattern of five to seven miles between stations. One of the 1876 Type stations is the Bodie Island Life Saving Station, then known as Tommy's Hummock Station. It was replaced by the much larger, more modern Chatham Type station built a short distance away in 1925. The new station, the last design type developed by the life-saving Service, featured such amenities as indoor plumbing a self-contained kitchen, and electric lighting. The United States Coast Guard, having absorbed the life-saving Service in 1915, was the administrating federal agency.

Download or read book Assateague Beach Coast Guard Station Station House Garage and Boathouse written by Maureen K. Phillips and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-01-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Assateague Beach Coast Guard Station station house, garage, and boathouse are part of the Assateague Island National Seashore (NS). The station house and the garage (the original boathouse) were built in 1922 when U.S. Coast Guard Station 150 was established at the southern end of Assateague Island in Assateague, Virginia. When the boathouse was constructed in 1938- 39 on Tom's Cove to the north of the station house, the original boathouse was converted to a garage. The Assateague Beach Coast Guard station was decommissioned in 1967, and the same year the site became part of the Assateague Island (ASIS) NS. Lack of park operating funds and infrequent usage of the site has resulted in increased deferred maintenance and a resulting loss of historic fabric. The buildings will require significant work that would potentially affect important features, necessitating the identification of the character- defining features to ensure the preservation of the structures' integrity, and to provide guidance for the reuse and preservation of the structures. This draft historic structure report for the Assateague Beach Coast Guard Station structures is an abbreviated Level II report. It was prepared for Assateague Island NS by the Building Conservation Branch (BCB) of the National Park Service's Northeast Cultural Resources Center. Preparation of this report began with historical and archival research, and physical and photographic documentation of the structures, which was conducted by BCB Architectural Conservators Maureen K. Phillips and John A. Scott. According to the terms of the project agreement, no fabric analysis (e.g., paint analysis, mortar analysis, etc.) was performed. The report was written by Architectural Conservator Maureen K. Phillips.

Book excerpt: Subtitled Heroes, Rescues and Architecture of the Early Coast Guard, this very complete record of the people, technology, architecture and exploits of the U.S. Life-Saving Service is a large-format book illustrated with 446 photographs and maps. It is especially strong on the wonderful and regionally varied architecture of the Service's stations, of which there were more than today's mariners or beachcombers can imagine -- 41 on the New Jersey coast, 31 on Lake Michigan, 13 on Cape Cod alone. In the last half of the nineteenth century, when coasting vessels numbered in the tens of thousands, the stations and their beach patrols were a necessity, and the surfmen managed dramatic rescues, many of which are recounted here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Aabec in Antrim County to Zutphen in Ottawa County, from Hell to Hooker, Michigan Place Names is a compendium of information on the origins of the state's geographical names. With alphabetically arranged thumb-nail sketches, Walter Romig introduces readers to a host of colorful personalities and episodes which have achieved notoriety, though sometimes shortlived, by devising or lending their names to the state's settlements. Romig spent more than ten years researching and documenting the entries to which he added an extensive bibliography of sources and an index of the personal names used in the text. For the curious, the librarian, the genealogist, or the historian, his book is an indispensable resource. Michigan Place Names is another "Michigan classic" reissued as a Great Lakes Book.
