Historic Context for Aids to Navigation in Delaware

Abstract

Aids to navigation are an important overall property type in relation to the priorities for historic theme, geographic zone, chronological period, and historic contexts established in the Delaware-Plan. Fifteen specific preservation goals are recommended for nine aids to navigation property types as a function of ownership, level and extent of expected significance, and specific property type characteristics. Ranked priorities are suggested for the fifteen overall goals (independent of property types) and for each property type within the group of property types to which each overall goal applies. Also, overall relative priorities are suggested for each combination of goal and property type.
