	Lightship Chesapeake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lightship Chesapeake, commissioned Lightship 116, is owned by the National Park Service and on a 25 year loan to the Baltimore Maritime Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.
		It was common for a lightship to be reassigned and thus "renamed" and identified by its new station.
		Chesapeake left her station at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in September 1965 when she was replaced by a large light station similar to an oil rig.

		When Lightship 116 “Chesapeake” was completed in 1930, she was among the most modern and capable ships in use with the US Lighthouse Service.
		Lightship 116 was designed for a crew of up to 16 – though normally several were away on shore leave at any given time.
		During 1942-45 Lightship 116 was painted battleship gray, armed with two 20mm cannons, and used as a patrol/inspection vessel near the entrance to the Cape Cod Canal.

	Lightship Station Assignments
		Nantucket Shoals was one of the most exposed lightship stations in the world and it was the last of the U.S. lightship stations to be discontinued.
		The lightship was moored about three miles offshore guarding the shoal area off Smith Point and served as a reference mark for the southern approach to the Potomac River, and as a waypoint for north-south traffic using the main Chesapeake Channel.
		The lightship was 16 miles and 074 degrees from the position later occupied by the Fire Island lightship.

		Lightship Vessel LV114 is in DANGER, it is considered excess property and maybe scraped!
		There being no Relief lightships, stations frequently went unmarked for weeks or months on end during periods when it was necessary to withdraw the assigned vessel for repair.
		In the early 1800s, crew on the early lightships ranged from one officer and four or five crewmen to two officers and eight or ten crewmen on the larger vessels.

	HISTORICALLY FAMOUS
		As Boon Island is a very flat piece of land, well surrounded by ledges, the tower appears at times to be springing up from the sea from a submerged ledge, especially when low clouds are flying.
		Before 1832 a still older lighthouse, on Ten-Pound Island well inside of the harbor, had served as an entrance light, but this light was never visible until ships had actually found the entrance, hence the building of a lighthouse on the Eastern Point where it could be seen from far offshore.
		Smutty Nose, earlier known as Haley’s Island, lies close to Appledore and at low tide Cedar and Malaga Islands are connected with the latter by a breakwater, built, it is said, by Captain Haley with the proceeds from four bars of silver found among the rocks.

	Delaware Lighthouses
		The Ship John Shoal and Brandywine Shoal lighthouses in Delaware Bay are actually in New Jersey waters.
		The lighthouse sits adjacent to the Cherry Island Landfill, and growth of the landfill required deactivating the historic light and building a new range tower (focal plane 90 ft (27 m); continuous green light) in 2000.
		The tower, a square pyramidal skeletal tower with central cylinder, was relocated to Gasparilla Island Range in Florida in 1921.

	Fourteen Foot Bank DE Lighthouse by Harbour Lights
		From 1876 to 1886, the shoal was monitored by lightship LV 19.
		However, the ice floe meant that the lightship had to be moved to safer waters during winter months — at a time when it was most needed.
		Automated in 1972, the original structure is a familiar sight in the Bay and while it is not open to the public, Fourteen Foot Bank Lighthouse remains a symbol of our nautical heritage along one of America’s most vital shipping lanes.

		After rounding the Shetland Islands, she set a course for the coast of North America to lay minefields off the coast of the United States and to conduct cruiser warfare.
		During the voyage across the Atlantic, heavy weather foiled her attempts to attack two lone steamers, two convoys, and a small cruiser.
		Later that day— still 14 August—the submarine moved farther south and, after laying a third minefield near Winter Quarters Shoal Lightship, halted an American sailing vessel, the 1,613-ton Madrugada, and sank her with gunfire.
