New York Artificial Reefs

Four of the reef sites are too small to draw at this scale, so they are represented by blue crosses. If you cut the arms off the crosses, that's about how big the reefs would be! Inlets are labeled in black, except for Rockaway, which is actually two inlets and a reef. Moriches is also much smaller than shown here; the proposed expansion is plotted, the current reef would be a dot.

United States Coast Guard 1

USCG

The United States Coast Guard is this nation's oldest and premier maritime agency. The history of the Service is very complicated because it is the amalgamation of five Federal agencies. These agencies, the Revenue Cutter Service, the Lighthouse Service, the Steamboat Inspection Service, the Bureau of Navigation, and the Lifesaving Service, were originally independent, but had overlapping authorities and were Shuffled around the government. They sometimes received new names, and they were all finally united under the umbrella of the Coast Guard. The multiple missions and responsibilities of the modern service are directly tied to this diverse heritage and the magnificent achievements of all of these agencies.

USCG — The old Life Saving Station at Sandy Hook, with its distinctive watchtower. 100 years ago this would have been a busy place during a storm like this. Today it is a museum.
