Keeper Logs a Mayday No One Else Heard: The Kepwick Light
-
Letto da:

Di:
The wind was fifty miles an hour and a lighthouse logbook recorded a Mayday at 4:52 a.m. with a grid position and the single word "Kepwick" written cleanly in ink-yet no one else heard it and no instrument recorded it. What happened between a photographed, timestamped entry and a Coast Guard search that turned up nothing?
In this episode, we present the sequence of events, primary records, and the unanswered discrepancy that kept a maritime journalist working for eleven months: why did an assistant keeper log a distress call on Channel 16 that left no trace in official monitoring data?
Person: Ronald Harris
Age: 38
Location: Kepwick Light cottage, Braddock Point, northern Oregon coast
Date: September 9, 2014
Event: Logged Mayday and Coast Guard search
- The logbook entry was timestamped 4:52 a.m., written in Ronald Harris’s handwriting with dry ink when found.
- Wind speeds were near fifty miles an hour the night of September 8-9, 2014, and waves closed Halcott Bay bar.
- Cheryl Callahan photographed the open logbook page at 6:38 a.m, after noticing the cottage door open.
- Ronald called Coast Guard Halcott Bay at 5:14 a.m.; Petty Officer Marcus Webb logged the relay at 5:16 a.m.
- A Coast Guard response vessel reached grid 48-7 North at 6:20 a.m., searched for ninety minutes, and found no vessel, wreckage, or debris.
