Marcus Hook Range Rear Light

Marcus Hook Range Rear Light is a lighthouse near Bellefonte, Delaware marking a range on the Delaware River. It is the highest light on the Atlantic coast of the United States. The lighthouse is visible on the horizon from the windows of high-rise buildings in downtown Wilmington, Delaware. History The permanent structure was preceded by a temporary light on a post, erected in 1915. The present tower was built in 1918 and was composed of nine sections of reinforced concrete; there is also an oil house and a keeper's dwelling on the site. The original beacon displayed a fixed white light using a Fourth order Fresnel lens; this was removed in the early 1980s and replaced with a RL-24 beacon, displaying a fixed red indication. The light was automated in the 1950s, but the keeper's house was occupied by Coast Guard personnel until 2004. In March 2005 the lighthouse became available for transfer under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, but in 2010 a private owner bought the lighthouse and the accompanying home on the property. The tower is an active aid to navigation and not open to the public. Front Light The Marcus Hook Range Front Light stood about 100 yards (91 m) offshore, 1.6 miles (2.6 km) to the northeast of Marcus Hook Range Rear Light. Its tower was erected in 1925 and was preceded by a temporary light tower erected in 1915. It has always been automated. Replacement range In June 2019, a new rear range light was erected approximately where the front range light was, and a new front range light was erected upstream. The (old) rear range light was turned off. References
Phare arrière de Marcus Hook

Le phare arrière de Marcus Hook (en anglais : Marcus Hook Range Rear Light) est un phare servant de feu d'alignement arrière situé près de Bellefonte sur le fleuve Delaware dans le Comté de New Castle, Delaware. Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 27 mars 1989 sous le n° 89000287. Historique La structure actuelle a été précédée d'une lumière temporaire sur un poteau, érigée en 1915. Elle a été construite en 1918 et est composée de neuf sections en béton armé. Sur le site il y a aussi un bâtiment à carburant et un logement de gardien. La balise d'origine affichait une lumière blanche fixe à l'aide d'une lentille de Fresnel du quatrième ordre, qui est maintenant exposée à l'Independence Seaport Museum de Philadelphie . Celle-ci avait été supprimée au début des années 80 et remplacée par une balise RL-24, affichant une lumière rouge fixe. La lumière a été automatisée dans les années 1950, mais la maison du gardien a été occupée par le personnel de la Garde côtière jusqu'en 2004. En mars 2005, le phare a pu être transféré en vertu de la National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act (en), mais en 2010, un propriétaire privé a acheté le phare et la maison qui l'accompagne sur la propriété. La tour est une aide active à la navigation et non ouverte au public. C'est la plus haute lumière de la côte atlantique des États-Unis. Ce phare fonctionne conjointement avec le feu d'alignement avant qui se trouve à environ 100 m à l'arrière de celui-ci. Description Le phare est une tour carrée en béton armée de 32 m de haut. Le phare est non peint. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 85 m, un lumière rouge continue. Sa portée n'est pas connue. Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-474 ; USCG : 2-3140 ; Admiralty : J1314.1 .

Маяк Маркус-Хук (створный задний)

Маяк Маркус Хук створный задний (англ. Marcus Hook Range Rear Light) — это недействующий маяк, расположенный недалеко от Белфонта, штат Делавэр, обозначающий излучину реки Делавэр. Это самый высокий маяк на атлантическом побережье США. Маяк виден на горизонте из окон высотных зданий в центре Уилмингтона, штат Делавэр. История В 1914 году Инженерный корпус армии США углубил и расширил фарватер реки Делавэр в районе Шунер-Ледж, для того, чтобы была возможность пропускать большие корабли. У Конгресса запросили 80 000 долларов на строительство сразу двух створных маяков. До капитального сооружения на этом месте в 1915 году был установлен временный маяк на столбе. Нынешняя башня была построена в 1918 году и состоит из девяти секций из железобетона. На территории также находятся мазутная яма и дом смотрителя. Изначально маяк излучал постоянный белый свет с помощью линзы Френеля четвёртого порядка. В начале 1980-х годов ее демонтировали и заменили на маяк RL-24 с постоянным красным светом. Маяк был автоматизирован в 1950-х годах, но до 2004 года в доме смотрителя жили сотрудники Береговой охраны. Передний маяк находился примерно в 100 ярдах (91 м) от берега, в 1,6 милях (2,6 км) к северо-востоку от заднего маяка. Его башня была возведена в 1925 году, а в 1915 году ей предшествовала временная световая башня. Она всегда была автоматизирована. В марте 2005 года маяк стал доступен для передачи в соответствии с Национальным законом о сохранении исторических маяков, но в 2010 году его вместе с прилегающим домом выкупил частный владелец. Маяк является действующим навигационным ориентиром и закрыт для посещения. В июне 2019 года примерно на том же месте, где раньше располагался передний габаритный фонарь, был установлен новый задний габаритный фонарь, а выше по течению — новый передний габаритный фонарь. Старый задний габаритный фонарь был демонтирован. См. также Список маяков США Примечания

Middletown Academy

The Middletown Academy was a historic school located in Middletown, Delaware. Founded in 1826 through lottery subscription and constructed the following year, it became part of the public school system in 1876 and was closed in 1929. The school building survives and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 5, 1972. It presently houses the town historical society and chamber of commerce. Construction The school building was constructed in two phases. The original building was a five bay, two and half story structure topped with an octagonal belfry (since converted into a closed cupola). The exterior walls are brick covered in stucco, the result of a trip to Philadelphia by a trustee sent to investigate the possibility. An annex was constructed around 1872, also of brick but painted rather than stuccoed. Both the annex and the original portion feature round-headed dormers to light the attic. There are three rooms on each floor and a central hall in the original section. This layout remains unchanged though the interior has been updated considerably over the years to accommodate the various tenants. History The academy had its genesis in an 1824 petition by a group of local farmers and merchants to the general assembly, asking that they be allowed to hold a lottery to construct a building for "an academy and elementary school, and also a room for public worship." The petition was granted to allow $6000 to be raised; this was amended the following year to $10,000. The lottery was sold in May 1825, and an initial six acre land purchase was made in November; one tenant refused to vacate, however, and William Crawford, one of the trustees of the nascent academy, donated an adjacent two acre lot the following May. The cornerstone was laid in August, and the school finally opened in October 1827. The school operated as a private academy until 1876. In that year the building was leased to the two local public school districts, and the private academy was abandoned. Two years later the public schools were consolidated into a single Middletown school district, centered on the old academy building. Classes continued to be held there until 1929, when a new public school building was opened in the town. Eventually the academy trustees sold the building to the federal government, which planned to build a post office on the property. Popular reaction led to the formation of the St. Georges Hundred Historical Society, which took possession of the building in 1945. The town purchased the property in 1960, and over the years used it to house offices, a library, a police station and a meeting hall. References

Newark Reservoir

The Newark Reservoir is a reservoir in Newark, Delaware, located just north of downtown. Completed in 2006, it holds 317 million U.S. gallons (1.20×109 L) of water pumped from White Clay Creek, which can supply the city for up to 100 days. The site is a popular recreational area with 1.8 miles (2.9 km) of paved walking trails, including a 1.1-mile (1.8 km) trail around the reservoir perimeter. At the north end there is also access to the adjacent William M. Redd, Jr. Park. The reservoir was constructed between 2002 and 2005 after a major drought in 1999 made the need for a reserve water supply clear. The city chose a site on the Koelig farm property off Paper Mill Road, and ground was broken there on May 14, 2002. The completed reservoir was ready to be filled by November 2005, and the new facility was formally dedicated on May 24, 2006. The project cost $20 million in total. It was the first new reservoir to be constructed in Delaware since the Hoopes Reservoir in Wilmington, which was completed in 1932. Aquatic activities are prohibited except during special events, like an annual triathlon that gives competitors the chance to swim in the reservoir. The swimming portion of the 2017 triathlon was canceled due to a cyanobacterial bloom. References
