The Cape Henlopen lighthouse, for example, was built during British Colonial times in 1767, state archeologist Craig Lukezic said. Once beacons in the night for sailors, he said lighthouses are now more than just critical aids to navigation. "They are an element of our maritime heritage," Mr. Lukezic said. But due to GPS and other technological advances, they have become obsolete and a vanishing resource. And in recent years, the U.S. Coast Guard has started declaring them as surplus property and turning their care over to others. The General Services Administration recently started advertising the Fourteen Foot Bank offshore lighthouse near Bowers Beach. It is being made available to any federal state or local agency or nonprofit organization that can maintain it for a park, recreation historic, cultural or educational use. Lou Mancuso, a Realty specialist with the General Services Agency in Atlanta, said the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 mandates these properties to be disposed of through nonprofits.

(Photo Susan Clough) On Saturday, June 20, the sun was shining on all 28 agencies, communities and organizations that received ceremonial deeds to the Maine lighthouses that will now be under their care and maintenance. The transfer of these lighthouses from the United States Coast Guard to various municipal, state and federal agencies as well as to non-profit, educational and community service set the state for the State of Maine Department of Marine Resources to take possession of the Burnt Island Lighthouse Station, and George McEvoy and the Grand Banks Schooner Museum to take permanent possession of Ram Island Light. Just over four years ago, the concept of a mass transfer of ownership was conceived by Peter Ralston, Vice President of The Island Institute. Out of what might have seemed like a ``crazy idea'' at first, grew an incredibly important and precedent setting piece of federal legislation started by Senator George Mitchell and finished through the efforts of Senator Olympia Snowe. In October 1996, as part of the Coast Guard Authorization Act, the legislation was passed and the Maine Lights Program became a reality.
