Installation of Underwater Power Cable to Smith Island and Cape Flattery Lighthouses.
Abstract
The project reported upon herein involved the installation of power cables to two lighthouses within the jurisdiction of the 13th Coast Guard District. This District is in the process of automating two manned, offshore lighthouses, and in converting one offshore lighthouse presently unmanned to shore power. The manned lighthouses were on Tatoosh Island and on Smith Island; the former is off Cape Flattery at the entrance to San Juan Straits and the latter is located off Whidbey Island at the eastern end of the Straits in Puget Sound. The lighthouse that has already been automated, but which is to be converted to shore power, is located on Destruction Island; this island is off the west coast of Washington State about 50 miles south of Cape Flattery.
