—caPtaiN Mark DreWeloW

how dId the USSa get Started? the USSA was formed in 2005 in direct response to the lack of a unified voice in the United States for the unique needs of the large yacht segment of the marine industry. Over the years, the 11 founding members have worked to grow the USSA to represent the superyacht industry in more than 23 states and 17 foreign countries. with nearly 300 members, a strong regional focus and an international “come SeA U.S.” marketing plan designed to attract more yachts to the United States firmly in place, the USSA is poised to work even harder for the superyacht industry!

advoCaCy. together we MaKe a dIFFerenCe. the USSA is the only trade association in the United States focused on the promotion and protection of the large yacht industry and serving as its voice.the U.S. Superyachting industry is responsible for generating nearly 29,000 American jobs and contributes more than $6 billion annually to the U.S. economy.

Since its inception in 2005, the U.S. Superyacht Association (USSA) has been working hard to develop strong relationships in the national regulatory and legislative arenas to protect the special needs of the superyacht industry. these relationships provide the Association with the opportunity to educate the country’s leadership about the significant economic impact the industry provides. the strength of the USSA comes from the membership. The top 15 boating states are represented in the seven regions of the association (Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast, Pacific Northwest and the Pacific Southwest). within each of these regions there is an advocacy chairperson that will work with

local and state marine trade associations to develop the federal legislative agenda, therefore providing a cohesive message to the public, congressional leaders and the media.

oUtreaCh CoMe Sea U.S. CaMpaIgn • Developed as a platform to encourage more superyachts to visit ports across the United States.

• Utilized as a two-way conduit for entry information between superyacht crew and United States Coast Guard, CBP and the U.S. State department.

• Presented to members of U.S. Congress, during the National Marine Manufacturers’ (NMMA) American boating congress highlighting the significant economic impact and job creation of the superyacht industry.

• Offered first-hand experience to members of Congress during boat shows throughout the year.

Lighthouses

in new englAnd

American lighthouses are a national treasure. they represent America’s castles, harboring stories of sunken ships, revolutionary battles and daring rescues.

The climb up their spiraling stairs and steep ladders pays off with breathtaking views. Though most have been rendered obsolete thanks to advances in navigation, they still stand as a welcoming beacon to many of our most picturesque ports throughout the region.

portland head lIght • Cape Elizabeth, Maine • established: 1791 • height: 80 feet • light: rotating white every four seconds • of note: On a clear day, from the base of the rubble-stone-and-brick Portland head, you can see four more lighthouses: Spring Point Ledge, ram island Ledge, Cape Elizabeth, and halfway rock. there’s a museum in the keeper’s quarters.

2

portSMoUth harBor lIghthoUSe • New Castle, New hampshire • established: 1771, replaced 1878 • Height: 48 feet • light: fixed green • of note: Every December, a “Flying Santa” arrives by helicopter bearing gifts for coast guard families at this cast-iron tower (as well as some others on our list). captain william Wincapaw, a Maine floatplane pilot, began the Christmas tradition in 1929 at lighthouses in Maine, and it later spread throughout New England.

BloCK ISland SoUtheaSt lIght • Block island, rhode island • established: 1875 • height: 52 feet • light: flashing green every five seconds • of note: Sitting on the Mohegan Bluffs, this red-brick lighthouse and its attached keeper’s quarters, built in high Victorian Gothic style, were an architectural showcase for the US lighthouse bureau.

• of note: in 1996, when coastal erosion threatened the red-and-white-painted cast-iron lighthouse, it was moved 300 feet from a 60-foot-high cliff to its current location. Nauset Light’s image is part of the cape cod potato chips logo.

SCItUate lIghthoUSe • Scituate, Massachusetts • established: 1811 • height: 50 feet • light: flashing white every 15 seconds • of note: During the War of 1812, “the army of two” — the keeper’s young daughters, Abigail and rebecca Bates — scared off the British, impersonating a band of armed men by noisily playing fife and drum. The tower is made of granite and brick. The tower and keeper’s house are the oldest complete lighthouse in the United States.
