Assembling the New Navigational Light

DAY 1 Bringing Out the Poles

The job of setting up the new navigational light at the tip of the north jetty was the responsibility of the U.S. Coast Guard. The first day, coast guard members carried the metal poles for the structure of light out to the tip of the jetty. They seem unfazed by the waves crashing against the jetty and sending spray over them.

Two man job!

A little way action, no problem!

The concrete based was embedded into the tip of the jetty.

DAY 2 - Assembling the Light

The team from US Coast Guard returned on another day to complete the assembly.  The four corner posts were setup and then the cross members attached. Red triangular panels were added and light installed.

DAY 3 - Installing the Battery

Two coast guard members returned on another day to install the battery which powers the light.
