EVALUATING HISTORIC AIDS TO NAVIGATION
To qualify for the National Register, a historic aid to navigation should be an
example of one of the first six types listed above; retain integrity of location,
design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association; and meet one
or more of National Register criteria (A, B, C, and D) listed under the Criteria
for Evaluation Section of this bulletin. The significance of a historic aid to
navigation can only be determined through a systematic investigation of its qualities,
associations, and characteristics. A typical investigation for a historic aid
to navigation nomination should include the following:
- identification of the specific type of aid to navigation and the documentation
of its individual characteristics based on a physical inspection of the aid and
documentation of its history;
- identification of the historic context(s)
associated with the aid to navigation based on documentation of its history; and
- evaluation of the significance of the aid to navigation based on the
National Register criteria.
