LOST 100000 IN
EFFORT TOLIGHT
DIAMOND SHOALS
Attempted Structure Out
In the Ocean

Government was much concerned
with plans to build a lighthouse
out, in the ocean, seven and a half
miles from Cape Hatteras, to warn
mariners of the deadly Diamond
Shoals. So many lives and so much
property had throughout all our
history come to disaster in this
dangerous area, that the govern
ment was willing to spend a half
million dollars in this stupendous
undertaking.
By an act approved March 2,
1889, Congress appropriated $500
600 for lighthouse at Outer Dia-
mond Shoal, about seven and a
half miles off Cape Hatteras, with
the privilege of contract at not
to exceed 100000.
The structure contemplated at
that time was to be of a caisson
type, similar to that which had
been built at Fourteen Foot Bank,
Delaware; and to consist of an
iron cylinder, resting on a eaisson
sunk into the sand of the ocean
bottom by pneumatic process.
However, although the difficult
les incident to the proper setting
off the Delaware coast constituted
a major feature of engineering, it
was then thought that even great
er difficulties would be encount-
cred off Diamond Shoals.
Bids were invited, and a con-
tract was awarded to Anderson &
Barr, Jersey City contractors, for
the sum of $485, 700. In the spring
1891, the contractors began opera
tons at the site, and the base of
the operations was established at
Norfolk, Virginia.
The caisson was built at this base,
and launched into the Elizabeth
River in June, 1891, and was
grounded in about % feet of water.
1t was quite a disappointment
when the final results were sum-
med up. AS soon as the caisson
was settled, the tides began to
scour or sweep sand from around
the sides and bottom of the base,
and the caisson settled unevenly.
Before much work could be done
other than to get the caisson once
more upright, and after only a
week of work, on July 8, Sc
we're storm carried away the OPP
Grating equipment of the contract
ors, and also the upper part of
the caisson.
The caisson was eventually des-
troyed and no further attempt was
made to erect the lighthouse under
this contract.
In 1894 the Lighthouse Board
decided on a second attempt to es-
tablish lighthouse on this shoal.

A survey was made by using a
boring apparatus designed to test
the ground beneath the shoal bor-
ings indicated a skeleton iron
structure supported on iron piles
would be the most practical de-
sign.
The apparatus was designed, and
it was assembled on pontoons at
Newport News, Va, and establish
ed at Diamond Shoals, May 27,
1894.
AS result of this test, bids
were invited for such an iron
structure in May 1896. But by an
act approved June IL, 1896, the
congress decided that portion of
the appropriation for Diamond
Shoal Light Station be used for
constructing a light vessel, and
that the remainder "should be con-
verified into the Treasury" Upor
approval of this act, all further
work on plans for lighthouse
was stopped. Several times, since
the matter has been the subject
of congressional action, but moth
ing further has been undertaken
But ever since, the Diamond
Shoals have been marked by &
strong vessel, with lighted masts,
battered by high seas and manned
by men with stout hearts through
winter and summer, to warn mar
iners from the Diamond Shoals.

1852 Traffic Death
Record In State
Closed At 9GO

With the official closing Of
NW8inia'S traffic death record for

tinued, was a drop in pedestrian

On the other side of the picture.
Colonel WoodSon stated that
serVicemcn deaths rose from "a to
1877 to present a grave problem
both TO local officials and military
authorities. In addition, moderate
increases are indicated in total
accidents and injuries although
they have not as yet been fully
tabulated. In cOmmenting on this
phase, Colonel Woodson stated
that increased traffic volumes can
be expected TO increase accident
! exposure but that it appears the
people Of Virginia drove more
carefully and, as a whole, at SLOW
er speeds thus reducing the SER
iou$nesS Of accidents
Commenting further Colonel
WoodSon noted that the largest
reductions were obtained in the
months Of June and July, lust be-
fore and Just after the new laws
went into effect permitting license

ing for Jail sentences for the Of
Tense of driving under a suspend

said and the fact that that dras-
tic Improvement was noted at the

indicate their efficacy to every

ginia want these laws enforced TO
