      Lighthouses: FAQ
      Source: The United States Coast Guard Our first lighthouses were actually given to us by Nature. Sailors sometimes used landmarks such as glowing volcanoes to guide them. In the Ancient World, trading ships were eventually built enabling navigators to sail long distances to buy and sell goods. In the days of wooden ships with sails, the wind and waves could easily push them against the rocks and wreck them. And so, the need for lighthouses as warning signals arose. Today we call people who study (or are interested in) lighthouses pharologists. The name comes from that famous lighthouse. What is a lighthouse?

The oldest operating lighthouse in North Carolina, the present Ocracoke Lighthouse sits on a picturesque, quaint island with beautiful beaches and a charming village. It can only be reached by ferry. Since its construction, it has always been painted white. In the early days keepers painted it with a whitewash concocted by the Lighthouse Board the recipe called for "half a bushel of unslaked lime with boiling water, a peck of salt, half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, three pounds of ground rice put in boiling water and a pound of clear glue." Blackbeard Ocracoke Inlet is the longest-lived inlet known to man on the Outer Banks, existing when John White painted the Banks in 1585 and supposedly for hundreds of years before. One of its most colorful inhabitants was the notorious Edward Teach, or "Blackbeard the Pirate."

Click on photos to enlarge
The editors of SmallShipCruises.com sailed on the American Eagle for seven days from Savannah to Jacksonville, going up the St. Johns River and along the Intracoastal Waterway along the east coast of Georgia and Florida. Here is a report on the trip.
If you are bothered by seasickness or think you might be, then a river or coastal cruise is definitely a cruise of choice and something you should try. On the American Eagle the biggest swells we saw were the ones made by our own wake as we meandered through grassy marshes, lazed up the river, and sauntered along the Intracoastal. The waters were so smooth you could see the trails of water as anhingas and cormorants flap, flap, flapped off the water.
The American Eagle is a 49-passenger boat, just launched in 2000 by American Cruises, a company that was in business years ago, then reappeared on the cruise scene last year. Their focus - coastal and river cruising to explore the wildlife, history, and culture of the eastern United States.
The ship has 31 cabins, individually climate-controlled. All have entrances from interior corridors, have picture windows that open, and a small but nicely done private bath with shower. Some staterooms have outside verandahs; some are handicap-equipped, some have a TV. There is an elevator between the deck with the dining room and the deck with the observation lounge and library. The elevator does not go to the sun deck.

Looking At History Through Architecture
by
Patricia Gaffney Ansel
Contents of Curriculum Unit 83.01.04:
To Guide Entry
The unit is divided into four major periods of architectural styles. They are in chronological order and serve as the basis for a time line which will be embellished by the accompanying narrative of historical events of the period. It is necessary to say here that the dates I have used to describe the four architectural periods were determined by Carole Rifkind in A Field Guide American Architecture. Although, I have taken the liberty to begin the Colonial Period in 1638 when the New Haven Colony was founded. They are difficult, if not impossible, to fix precisely because no one period ended abruptly for another to begin. Therefore, the dates may seem general and overlapping was unavoidable. Few structures are “pure” in their architectural style, having borrowed from many influences. Most do reflect a dominant style in their design. But these are not points to belabor, better to present a picture of the on-going process of change and give the students a sense of their part in the continuum. I have included information meant to capture the imagination, perhaps the students will be able to see themselves in the situations described. Rather than targeting rote memory, my objectives are to develop skills in observation and description, to create an understanding of the relationships of one part of history to another.

See the Light in New Jersey
Lighthouses were built to light the way for ship captains navigating treacherous waters. Today, they often light the way to some of New Jersey's most popular visitor attractions. Following is an itinerary that "connects the lighthouses" - starting at the northern end of the state's 127-mile long Atlantic coast, swinging down to the southernmost point at Cape May and finally turning up to the Delaware River, New Jersey's "other shore."

One classic that has it all for visitors is Sandy Hook Lighthouse (Sandy Hook Visitors Center, ), which is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area and one of the oldest light towers in the nation, it was commissioned by George Washington and designed and built in 1764 by Isaac Conro.

Introduction
This web site was created to act as a guide to the Stick Style, an important but relatively rare style in American Victorian architecture dating from 1860-1890. Elements of the style began to appear on buildings in the 1850s and early 1860s but most construction in this style occurred in the 1870s particularly after the national economy recovered from the financial panic of 1873. Architectural pattern books were the source for many houses in this style but all practicing architects of the day designed and built houses in the Stick Style including big name designers such as H.H. Richardson and Richard Morris Hunt. Samuel H. Cook House

Printer friendly page Argentina is a beautiful country. There's something for everyone to do. Buenos Aires, its capital city is located on the shore of one of the world's widest rivers Rio de la Plata- River Plate, an amazing water mirror that sets the city of tango facing the brother country of Uruguay. Throughout the our east coast the Atlantic Ocean runs side by side the outstanding Argentinean shores, filled with history and natural beauty. Admiring this terrific scene I thought of a breathtaking trip that fills the eyes and soul with gorgeous images, smells and sensations. It's a lighthouse tour, following the route of the River Plate through the Atlantic. Jules Verne's

Have you ever dreamed of a trip down the south American coastline, going from lighthouse to lighthouse, well, here is one idea..... Bob Frassinetti.
By Roberto Dario Frassinetti, 11/13/2004
journey contact me!
The trip begins in Buenos Aires, the South American Paris as many have agreed to describe. Our first lighthouses are in Buenos Aires, one of which is no longer active but now it's a hotel in which we'll stay: Sofitel. The other the outstanding BA Yacht club's. From BA to Mar del Plata to the amazing Punta Mogotes lighthouse. The nearby natural unspoiled paradise of the Querandí lighthouse is a definite must. History and nature's beauty guide us up north to: the Punta Medanos lighthouse. This cape side area was first discovered by Magallanes in 1520 where an outstanding cylinder French origin lighthouse is waiting for us. Our last stop in the southern Atlantic coastline is at Mar del Tuyu's lighthouse at the36° 34' S, 56° 41' W coordinates featuring one example of the 1980s technique was a perfect real estate business as well as an innovation in architecture.
Back in Buenos Aires, before crossing the River Plate to Uruguay a must stop is at the Martin Garcia Island. The gorgeous Lighthouse located at the 34° 11' S, 58° 15' W coordinates.

Vast spaces of the Atlantic Ocean were moving underneath. We were preparing to meet America - not the malls-and-cat's but the entheogens-and-meditation's America. JFK International Airport appeared to be a place of "mechanical" energy and gave us a first impression of emotional separateness. The same feeling of emotional isolation and rough rationality accompanied us in New York during our first days. Fortunately, Massachusetts, where we next visited, had a more relaxed and soft energy. The voice of the MAPS president sounded very enthusiastic and inspiring in the telephone. We were more than curious to meet him. Since we thought of him as an important figure, we dressed very officially for our first meeting. Rick appeared to be a smiling, handsome, youthful, relaxed man, informally dressed. His eyes were shining with humor and cunning. Later, after we had known him for awhile and heard some stories about him, we came to feel that he is one of the most accepting and generous persons we've ever met. He is like the embodiment of the spirit of MDMA. We also understood that MAPS is not only an organization but a circle of people attracted and interconnected by Rick's optimistic magnetism.

ALONG THE
GEORGIA COAST Georgia map The "you-can’t-get-there-from-here" aspects can make it more than a little frustrating for casual visitors, but if you have the time and inclination, they also make the Georgia coast a wonderful place to explore. The two main car-friendly destinations along the Georgia coast are Tybee Island in the north, east of Savannah and forming the end of our cross-country road trip along US-80, and the beautiful and history-rich Golden Isles, east of Brunswick. Both are great places to visit, and they offer an appetizing taste of the 100 miles of isolated shoreline Georgia otherwise keeps to herself.
SAVANNAH
Named "the most beautiful city in North America" by the style-arbiting Parisian newspaper Le Monde Savannah (pop. 130,000) is a real jewel of a place. Founded in 1733 as the first settlement in Georgia, the thirteenth and final American colony, Savannah today preserves its original neoclassical, colonial, and antebellum self in a welcoming, unself-conscious way. Famous for having been spared by General Sherman on his destructive "March to the Sea" at the end of the Civil War, it was here that Sherman made his offering of "40 acres and a mule" to all freed slaves. Before and after the war, Savannah was Georgia’s main port, rivaling Charleston, South Carolina for the enormously lucrative cotton trade. As commercial shipping has tailed off, the harbor is now primarily recreational—the yachting competitions of the 1996 Olympics were held offshore. Savannah, home of writer Flannery O’Connor and songsmith Johnny Mercer, also served as backdrop to the best-selling book
