LIGHTSHIP AT SANDY HOOK
TO SOON DECOME MEMORY
New York, Oct. 30. On December
1 the old Sandy Hook lightship, which
for half a century has marked th
western end of the Transatlantic tra
vel, will go out of existence and the
name will never appear on the logs
of the ships crossing the ocean. In
place of the old ship will be an entire
ly new one, and on its side will be
l-pinted the words, "Ambrose 'Chan
nel." The old landmark, or rather
seamark, will disappear, and the name
that has for half a century been one
of the most prominent In the annal
of navigation will disappear forever.
The orSnal lightship was anchored
III lis place mure uum av yeaia
and the present vessel was put Into
commission In 1892. When it waa
deeded two years ago that the pres
ent ship would not last much longer
a new one was ordered and has now
been completed. With the opening
of the new Ambrose channel, ships
will not approach within three miles
of Sandy Hook, and for that reason
an unsentimental lighthouse board
has decided to substitute Its name for
the old and honored one of Sandy
Hook.
