Well you have some good links you might want to specify that it was a first order Fresnel lens. Most of the lighthouses these days have replaced the old lens with electric rotating lights. Yaquina Head here in Oregon still uses it’s old first order fresnel lens. Another one of our lighthouses Cape Blanco was damaged by vandals and the cost to replace it was outrageous. They did a nationwide search and found a local telescope manufacturer (Hardin optical) in Bandon Oregon. They were able to repair the lens but it took an entire year because they had to manufacture special tools. Not many still actually being used in service. If you have questions about the lens Hardin might be helpful. Good luck with the book! – MZ — Visit my website: www.mzuschlag.com reply to my e-mail: mzuschlag at attbi dot com

Response:
LOLOL My dad was – to put it mildly – eclectic! Put himself through school playing trumpet in a swing/jazz band while acting in the college plays, and getting his cert. as a pharmacist. Wanted to see the world so also did navy ROTC; Later went through officers school at the Great Lakes and went active at the end of WWII and again for Korea heading a minesweeeper task force. Was a rabid reader of anything history or archeology, and supported any cause that fostered preserving the past. Post war he was based out of Japan for a couple years and unlike many of the service men who brought back artifacts off the black market, he took the difficult road and obtained his through only legitimate channels. He went back to the mid-west and ran recruitment and training for reserves – he always said the best recruits came from land locked regions (just like himself); He understood the desire and call of the sea. Many years – and careers – later he retired from Federal (civilian) service having initiated and written the Navy’s alcohol support/therapy programs that were then emulated throughout all the services for addication treatment (He was a 20 year ‘friend of Bill’). It’s funny how he had learned that he didn’t enjoy ‘practicing’ pharmacy, but ended up using it to better understand the effects and treatment of alcohol abuse. He used being in government to get all the latest information on site discovery and raclamation work in progress and would always have something that he would find exciting. As a preamble to retirement he had commissioned a 48′ EO single mast hull (ocean/deep water sailing) to be built in Taiwan, and spent more than 10 years as a live aboard, sailing up and down the eastern seaboard, based out of Georgetown, S.C..He only came back ashore after a couple heart attacks made it necessary. One of the reasons he picked that port (aside from the central N/S location) was that he went back to acting and was pres. of the Swampfox Players – they rebuilt an old movie theatre as a playhouse. He also got himself appointed a J.P. so that he could do ‘nautical’ weddings. All throughout, he remained fascinated with the history of sea-going, and how early sailors used skills that allowed them to survive and flourish. Right up to his final sailing days he still preferred to use the early manual instruments to shoot his sightings and plot a course; Even though he had GPS and all the electronics, he really didn’t use them much at all. One of his regrets was that so many of early artifacts had been pilfered and ended up in private hands rather than museums for all (espec. the young) to see and learn from. He could tell you about every lighthouse on the Eastern seaboard – chapter and verse, he knew every wreck site, and could tell you it’s provenance, He could show you how shipping by sea influenced development on land, both good and bad. He loved getting youngsters involved, and showing them how it all came together. When he wasn’t putting up a show, running an AA meeting, teaching a young couple how to sail,or……. Well, he was Irish, after all! When he died we followed his request and spread his ashes into the Gulf Stream. That way he ‘could just keep moving with the currents’.

Diane – there is a lighthouse in Rhode Island called Beavertail Lighthouse Point. They have a website and also a museum. In the museum they have the original light that was rescued and restored. I’m not sure from where but perhaps this would be a starting point if only by contacting the folks at the museum for information. This was my father’s favorite fishing spot and where we scattered his ashes offshore last October! History of the Beavertail Light: http://www.lighthouse.cc/beavertail/history.html Cyberhugs, DianeW

hi guys! i’m working on my next book (due april 15th. yikes!) and i’m having trouble finding a piece of information. it’s highly unlikely any of you know this, but you have helped so much in the past, i figure it can’t hurt to ask. i need to find someone to talk to about the following: how would a large object (a huge lens from a lighthouse) be salvaged from the ocean floor (not very far out)? what sort of company would do it? how would they locate it? lift it? treat it once it was up? i know the basics, but need the specifics. if any of you know anyone who might be able to point me in the right direction, please let me know!! thanks, diane visit my website at http://www.dianechamberlain.com
