4. OBSERVATIONS
The team made the following observations and found the below deficiencies during the site inspection:
CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: USFWS - KILAUEA POINT NTL WILDLIFE REFUGE
A. Lantern:
1. The curtain wall leaks on the NE, E and SE elevations.
2. The interior + exterior sealant is failing throughout the lantern curtain wall.
3. Condensation is ever present.
4. The lantern is void of ventilation, cannot be determined without removing the ceiling.
B. Lantern Sills:
1. Vent ports were found to be intentionally closed off with stainless steel plate and sealant.
2. Bronze vent grilles on the interior are sealed with clear silicone.
3. In the 2009 - 2010 restoration the sill “lining” plates and “pinching strip” bars were to be replaced with stainless steel. We found a mix of ferrous (apparently original) and stainless steel components. Link to drawing A-113
4. In the 2009 restoration the existing fasteners were to be replaced with stainless steel.
We found all to be bronze.
C. Service Room:
1. Standing water was found present on the east and south sides of the floor. A plastic bin was left to apparently collect moisture, yet water was found throughout the service room.
2. Wall vents that were reconditioned in the 2009-2010 restoration operate very well. The louvers were replaced, and the grille vents work well. Small areas of oxidation was found under the clear coat on most grilles.
3. The thru wall vent frames that were cleaned and treated are ferrous and continue to corrode and stain the exterior lighthouse column. Members of the team told us that a previous contractor said that the brown rust colored stain was from the dirt that blows and gets trapped in the vents. We confirmed that this is not the case. The frames are corroding and rusting.
D. Lantern Roof and Ventilator Ball:
1. The cast iron ventilator ball is experiencing some rust jacking at the collar which has spalled some of the metal filler and coatings exposing the cast iron substrate.
2. The vent slots in the base of the ventball are clear or any debris. No insect nor bird nests, spider webs blocking it.

3. ICC Spoke with the restoration contractor (O'Hana Industries) who fabricated and replaced the ventball and confirmed that the chimney vent inside was fabricated open and should be drawing air up and out.
4. ICC performed a smoke test and found that the ventball is not drawing air. The obstruction cannot be confirmed without removing the ceiling and inspecting.
E. Lantern Exterior:
. The railings were called to be replaced with stainless steel rails and stanchions; however, we noted corrosion at the splice of some connections, therefore not stainless steel.
. The circumferential belt course under the gallery deck is corroding.
. Lens:

I. INTRODUCTION:
Mr. James Woodward, The Lighthouse Consultant, LLC, Green Valley, Arizona prepared this document in association with ICC Commonwealth’s Historic Preservation Team for the United States Department of the Interior, Fish & Wildlife Service, Kauai National Wildlife Refuge Complex (KNWR). This document was prepared utilizing information provided by Nancy and Wayne Byal of
KNWR, and an onsite survey of the Kilauea 2nd Order lighthouse lens by Mr. James Woodward and members of ICC Commonwealth’s Historic Preservation team headed by Mr. Tyler Finkle who were evaluating the condition of the lighthouse tower. The inspections of the lens and tower were conducted from January 30 and February 2, 2023.
The purpose of the report is to describe the existing condition of the illuminating apparatus, describe the procedures that would be used to restore it either in the tower (Option 1) or out of the tower (Option 2) and the pros and or cons of the 2 methods. And finally, provide detailed instructions for the ongoing maintenance of the lens including periodic inspection and cleaning of the lens. This report will provide a work plan and cost estimate for the overall lens project. The term “illuminating apparatus,” as used in this document, refers to the entire lens assembly including the lens itself, the rotation assembly, and the fixed sections of the pedestal.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Kilauea lighthouse was completed in 1913. The lens that graces the lighthouse was constructed in Paris by Barbier, Benard & Turenne (BBT) in 1912 and carries the serial number 9696. Records of the manufacturer (BBT) indicate that the lens was ordered by the U. S.
government in 1911 under a contract for 4 lenses of various sizes. The Kilauea lens was the largest lens in that contract. It was also the last mercury float; 2nd Order lens purchased by the United States. The other lenses in that contract were all of the 4th Order. The lens is a 2nd Order Bi-valve with 4 flash panels that originally rotated on a bowl of mercury (Hg). It is also of note that the Kilauea lens is an exact copy of the Rock of Ages 2nd Order mercury float lens built by BBT in 1909.
On February 21, 2023, I had the opportunity to interview Mr. David Willoughby who was the last active Coast Guard enlisted man stationed at the lighthouse. He left the station in 1974. He was most informative about some of the questions that arose during our inspection. First, he recalled very clearly that the lantern room was always moist, just as now. They would have to open the lantern room door to get any air moving in the tower. The lens was always wet with condensate and they were always busy trying to keep the glass dry and clean. He also remembered the mercury drain valve and the other valve on the underside of the mercury float. He said they never drained mercury from the lens during his time there using the mercury drain valve. However, they did use the “other” valve that had has a small metal (existing) tube connected to it which often caused mercury releases from the bowl that required the crew to chase mercury down the tower, sometimes all the way to ground level, sweep it up and then return it to the mercury bowl. This will be discussed further in the “Mercury Float Dilemma” on page 6 of the report. Other than
CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: TYLER FINKLE CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: USFWS - KILAUEA POINT NTL WILDLIFE REFUGE 1 that, he said it was very good duty being stationed there. After his transfer in 1974 he continued on in a 20 year Coast Guard career retiring from the Coast Guard from the Marquette, MI station.
In addition to the interview with Mr. Willioghby, I discovered an extensive document that provided a lot of unknown information. In 1979, the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Office prepared a, 6-page long form nominating the lighthouse site to the National Register of Historic Places. The nomination was accepted and approved by the Secretary of the Department of the Interior and Kilauea Point Lighthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in October, 1979.
In 2006, an additional, extensive 48-page long “Supplementary Listing Record” was presented to the Secretary of Interior. It was prepared by Northwest Heritage Consultants at the request of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It s an extensive, well researched document that provides many answers that were not known earlier. The “Supplementary” Record was certified by the Secretary on December, 14 2006 and added to the original Nomination form. The Addendum answered questions about ventilation in the tower. Supplementary Record, Section 7-5, para. 1, specifically notes
. Lastly, on page 8-19 it states that
. This is a significant discovery that answers questions that were identified about of the lack of air flow in the upper part of the lantern room.
Also identified in Section 7-6, para.2,” In de . This effort was a
Coast Guard wide environmental cleanup program primarily focused on lighthouse sites prior to, during and following lighthouse automations. Under that same program the author of this report removed approximately 650# of mercury from the Point Arena lighthouse in 2004. Based on the visual inspection of the Kilauea lens it does appear that the mercury has been removed from the lens. It is recommended that the mercury float be opened and inspected just to verify the written record.
The lens has suffered some damage over its life. There are two cracked prisms on the left face of panel 3-4. In panel 3-4, Upper Catadioptric section, prisms 3 and 5 are cracked all the way through. At this time the prisms have not yet started to move. These 2 prisms should be treated with a “lampist repair” consisting of an injection of B-72 Acryloid, followed by sheet brass wraps, glazing compound and fine threaded brass fasteners.
The lens at Kilauea Light ceased to be used as an operational aid to navigation in 1979. The lens was originally rotated by a clockwork assembly that utilized the energy produced by a descending weight that was suspended from cable wound around a drum in the clockwork assembly. After electricity came to the site the clockwork was put in standby status and the lens was turned by an electric drive motor.
CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: TYLER FINKLE CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: USFWS - KILAUEA POINT NTL WILDLIFE REFUGE 2
The lens assembly itself, was supported by and rotated in a bowl of Hg. The bowl contained approximately 325 pounds of Hg and provided a virtually, friction-free bearing surface. With the replacement of the optic in 1979, the lens was left in a static condition in the lantern room, no longer capable of revolving. The mercury remained in the float mechanism until it was removed in 1989. There are 7 small, vertical, iron wheels mounted around the inside circumference of the float casting. There should be 8 but one is missing. These are only service wheels and were never intended to support the weight of the rotating lens when operational. In the recent past the lens has occasionally been rotated on these wheels for ceremonial purposes. It is hoped that the wheels were not irreparably damaged by this practice.
The overall project at Kilauea Light is more complex than just work on the lens itself. The light tower and lantern room may require significant work. In order to accomplish the restoration project in a logical fashion, the various phases of work should be closely coordinated. If major work will be done on the lantern room itself, it is recommended the lens should be removed prior to the beginning of that work. This be discussed in detail. If this happens, the lens should remain out of the tower during all structural work and then, finally, be returned to the lantern at the completion of the other parts of the project. That way, the restoration of the lens can be done concurrently with the work on the lighthouse structure and not subject the lens to any possible damage that could happen during other phases of work in the lantern room.
III. CONDITION ASSESSMENT OF THE ILLUMINATING APPARATUS:
General:
The Lighthouse Consultant is very familiar with this type of lens. This lens is identical to the one built by BBT for Rock of Ages Light in Lake Superior in 1909. The author of this report removed the Rock of Ages lens from the lighthouse, reassembled it for display by the National Park Service in 1985 and subsequently moved the entire assembly again when the new display center was constructed in the 1990’s. The apparatus is a beautiful, Classical 2nd Order, Bi-valve, Fresnel lens. This type of lens is called a bi-valve or clamshell because it is made up of 2 opposed, convex sides that resemble a clam in the closed position. The lens has 4 flash panels that produce a double quick-flashing characteristic when rotated. The Hg (mercury) float allowed the lens to rotate at a relatively high speed of 3 rpm. All of the ferrous parts of the float and pedestal have been painted in gray. The present colors are those that were adopted by the U. S. Coast Guard after WWII and are inconsistent with the historic palette that was used by the Lighthouse Service. Originally, virtually all lenses were green when they came from the factory. In general, the lens appears to be in fair to good condition. Specific problems will be discussed later in this report.

Clockwork:
The clockwork and clockwork case are no longer on site. They were put into standby mode after electricity came to the site and subsequently replaced by an electric drive motor in 1939. The drive motor is no longer at the lighthouse and was probably removed after the light was replaced in the 1970’s. Portions of the clockwork are still on site bust most along with the location of the drive motor are unknown. h*(editor note, the Refuge has possession of gear shaft, weights and portions of the rotating section in the oil shed).aft with gears on either end may be part of the rotating section. Location of some clockwork
Pedestal:
The pedestal assembly is almost complete and appears to be in very good condition. In the pedestal assembly there are both rotating and stationary sections that are described individually, below. The rotating section is comprised of the platen (the iron section that the lens is bolted
to) and the Hg float. The float is a large iron doughnut shaped casting that supports the platen and fits very snugly into the Hg bowl. Associated with the float are the 7 vertical wheels (there should be 8) that were previously discussed and 4 horizontal guide wheels that acted as centering devices that kept the lens centered on its pedestal. There should be 8 guide rollers and the missing ones are unaccounted for. The missing guide wheels should be reproduced and installed. The stationary section includes the Hg bowl and central pedestal casting along with other castings that are necessary to make the assembly whole. (Gear shaft is located in oil saft per USFWS note)
The Mercury Float Dilemma:
In my career of 58 years of working on lighthouse lenses I had the opportunity to work on, service and de-commission quite a few mercury float lenses. It became a real specialty of mine because no one else wanted to go anywhere near them due to the mercury hazards. This lens had a very unusual modification made to it at some point in its life that makes it totally unique. Every Hg float lens has one drain valve on its underside so that the keeper could drain the mercury out into a bucket, clean it by pressing it through cheese cloth and then returning to the mercury bowl. This was done every 6 months. The Kilauea lens has 2 valves on the underside of the bowl. One was the original factory drain valve and the other was similar in appearance with the addition of a couple of feet of rigid tubing attached to it. It was absolutely baffling to me. When I interviewed Mr. Willioghby, I inquired about it and he had many memories of it, none of them terribly good.
He told me that it was the “air valve” and that it was connected by a pipe to an air compressor on the first floor of the tower. When ever the lens would become sluggish in its operation, they would fire up the compressor and add some air to the mercury to help it out. However, the only problem was that usually when they did that if they added a bit too much air it would blow mercury out of the float. If it was a small amount, it was only around the pedestal on the floor but that sometimes they would misjudge and add too much air, in which case, they would be cleaning up mercury all the way down the tower to the first level. Then would sweep it all up and put it back into the bowl. This was making no sense to me, at first. Never had I seen such a contraption as an “air valve” on the Coast Guard mercury float lens, and for good reason. Air and mercury do not mix nor play well together. In reality, the so-called air valve, when installed was actually an air bleeder valve. I will
CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: TYLER FINKLE CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: USFWS - KILAUEA POINT NTL WILDLIFE REFUGE 4 explain. The French mercury float lenses had an unusual design to the Hg bowl and float. The float fits into the bowl with only about a ¼” of clearance all around. The mercury goes all around the 3 sides of the float and that is what the float is suspended in and seems to “float”. The underside of the float is not flat. In cross section the bottom of the float is contoured in the shape of an inverted, very shallow “V” with the high point of the “V” centered on the centerline of the float and going all the way around. So, it looks like a very shallow mountain peak. If the Hg has been removed from the assembly for cleaning, which was done every 6 months when the mercury has poured back into the bowl it went down the ¼” gap between the bowl and float. A connecting channel cut in the of the bowl allowed the mercury to flow between the inside and outside vertical faces. However, the inverted “V” of the bottom presented a problem because the mercury could not fill the space because it was full of air. If not vented the mercury being added would cause the air to compress to the point where there was enough air pressure to blow mercury out of the bowl in order to try and equalize the air pressure. An experienced Light Keeper would know that there is a small screw at the center of the floor of the float that should be removed to allow the air to vent out and allow complete filling of the space with Hg. When the Hg was properly added and started to come out the vent hole, the screw was installed, the little bit of ejected mercury was re-added to the bowl and all was well for the next 6 months. One problem I have discovered is that, as is typical in the military, things that are static are either polished or painted. Over time it is likely that that little vent screw got painted over and lost. In 1939 the Coast Guard took over the administration of lighthouses from the U. S. Lighthouse Establishment. Because of the many disconnects between the 2 services during the change over a great deal of information and local knowledge was simply lost and it may be that the refilling of the mercury could have suffered because of a crew member not passing on that knowledge about the operation of the lens. Then, when mercury started blowing out of the lens someone had a very good idea about installing a bleeder valve to release the air pressure build up during refilling. Then it was only one more misstep and maybe an early personnel transfer and the real reason for the valve was lost. There was a small tube coming from the valve and someone new may have thought it should be hooked up to a compressor to add air to the mercy to help it work better. This is all supposition but it follows a line of thought that I have seen play out when one key person leaves and does not have time to teach their relief.
Rotating Section:
The rotating section consists of the float casting, the float top, the platen, and the lens. The float casting forms the base of the rotating part of the apparatus. Attached to the inside face of the float is the bull gear. The bull gear is the largest gear in the entire assembly and consists of a sectional gear with teeth around the inside circumference of the float. Attached to the underside of the bull gear are the 7 vertical iron wheels mentioned earlier. The purpose of these wheels is to keep the lens from pitching or rolling excessively, which would cause the Hg to splash over the edge of the bowl. Working in association with these wheels, are the horizontal guide wheels.
Their purpose is to keep the rotating section of the lens centered on the stationary, central base casting. Presently, some of these guide wheels are missing and will need to be reproduced if
CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: TYLER FINKLE CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: USFWS - KILAUEA POINT NTL WILDLIFE REFUGE 5 the lens is to appear complete. The guide wheels are attached to the float cover that serves as a casting which is open and segmented and would present a tripping hazard, if left open. The cast iron platen is bolted to the top of the float cover and serves as the base ring for the attachment of the lower lens frames. The Bi-valve lens (clamshell) has 2 symmetrical sides. Each side consists of 2 abutting, circular, central dioptric flash panels that are surrounded by 8 large, wedge-shaped catadioptric panels. Within the panels there are 232 crown glass prisms in the total assembly and 4 crown crystal lenses.
The Glass Sections of the Lens:
A complete condition assessment of the lens was completed. Every prism was assessed and every interface between glass elements and bronze frame members was inspected. Findings and Recommendations, follow.
IV. GLASS AND GLAZING ASSESSMENT & RECOMMENDED REPAIR METHODS:
Consider that, for this section of the report the lens is divided into 4 major sections. The lens is two sided and each side has 2 halves, right and left. The halves are identified by the original factory numbering system given when the lens was manufactured. The faces are numbered 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, and 4-1.
Condition of glass:
In general, the condition of the glass is very good, especially when considering that it is 110 years old. Physical damage to the lens elements consists of 2 through cracks on face 3-4. These cracks can be stabilized using Acryloid B72 liquid followed by a thin layer of glazing compound around the cracks and finally banding the cracks with brass sheeting and fastening with fine thread brass screws. Also identified were at least 6 scallop shaped edge chips in various locations and one area of chatter chipping on face 4-1. There are no repairs recommended for surface chips. They tell part of the story of the lens’ life. It should be remembered that edge chips can be as sharp as a razor blade and should be treated with respect.
It was observed that the surfaces of the glass elements of the lens were always wet from condensate due to lack of airflow in the structure. Prisms were so wet that they were dripping onto the metalwork below them. Some prism surfaces appear to have been etched by saltwater and may have that appearance permanently even if the ventilation issues in the tower are finally resolved. This same condition of constant wetness of the lens was reported Mr. Willioghby when he was stationed at the lighthouse in 1974.
Condition of Glazing:
The glazing consists of the wooden wedges and litharge (putty that hold the glass elements in place). Over the entire surfaces of the lens panels the following conditions were identified that
CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: TYLER FINKLE CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: USFWS - KILAUEA POINT NTL WILDLIFE REFUGE 6 require some repairs to restore or stabilize areas of concern. The bullseye panel of face 3-4 requires some putty replacement. All four of the bullseyes should be stabilized by applying a thin bead of Acryloid B72 liquid to all nested joints. Several different conditions were found throughout the lens and are grouped by type. Exposed wedges, approximately 150 locations.
Wedges exposed to the elements will begin to suffer from exposure to sunlight, moisture and temperature and humidity variations. These are easy repairs to make if caught early and only require surface coating with Acryloid B72 and re-puttying, where necessary. Acceptable replacement putty is DAP 33 or Sherwin Williams C-66 Oil based Glazing compound.
Putty repair, approximately 120 locations. These are locations where the existing putty is beginning to delaminate and break down from exposure to the elements. This requires careful removal of all damaged material, retaining good original material and reglazing with new putty, as above.
Missing wedges, 4, several loose wedges and rotting wedges 7. This is a serious condition if not addressed. The wedges were installed at the factory. Their primary purpose is to secure the glass elements in their specific location. Once the wedges are fixed in place the glazing compound was installed to fill in the voids and to keep the wedges from moving. Working together the wedges and putty provide the strength of each joint. If either or both become loose or structurally fail the glass will become loose in its socket and edge damage and possible loss of the element will follow. Missing, rotted or damaged wedges are to be replaced with well-seasoned, hardwood wedges, cut to fit at each location and installed to hold the glass elements without applying undue pressure or stress.
Condition of Bronze Frames:
Most areas of the bronze frame members appear to be in good condition. They are heavily oxidized which provides a natural surface coating that protects the frame members. At the base of section 3-3/3-3 there is an accumulation of rust below the base ring of the lens and an accumulation of blue oxide indicating there are interactions between the bronze and ferrous elements.
One area of the framework is heavily pitted indicating that it may have been exposed to an excess of salt water that has eaten into the surface of the metal and may require the opinion of a metal’s conservator.
Condition of Current Light:
Observed current lamp has been replaced with a modern LED. It was asked of the team to respond to a potential concern that artificial light emitted by an artificial light source could harm the lens. The U.S. Coast Guard has been using new LED lamps in classical lighthouse lenses, since classical lenses are only damaged by UVA and UVB ray from the sun. This can be countered by covering the lens during the daytime or using UVA-UVB filtering glass in the lantern windows.

V. RESTORATION CONSIDERATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
There are two methods discussed related to repair options for the illuminating apparatus. Each option has some pluses and minuses but the overall safety and continued long life of the lens should be the final deciding factor. Option 1. considers trying to accomplish all the required restoration and stabilization work in the lantern room while Option 2. considers removing the lens from the tower to do the required restoration and stabilization work and then returning the lens to its pedestal in the tower.
Option 1: Keep the lens in the lantern room while construction work is done
Pros:
On the face of it, this would seem to be the best solution. One benefit is that the lens will remain in place and not be disturbed.
Cons:
If the work required for the lantern room is to be done, there will be a major amount of activity in the lantern room with construction work. That work would most likely include removal of the lantern room glass windows, unplugging of the ventilator ball vents and work on other ventilation sources in the vicinity of the lens.
Although the lens appears to be very large that is only true when looking at its height and width.
Its thickness is relatively thin by comparison. Widthwise the lens is almost as wide as the lantern room. The lens at its widest point measures about 8 feet wide and the lantern room measures about 12 feet wide. That leaves only two feet of clearance to move around the lens without making contact. If the lens is left in place during the lantern restoration-rehab it would, no doubt, require some form of structural protection which would take up even more of the limited width and present a serious potential for damage.
To attempt to do all the required lens restoration work would be impossible. Due to the design of the lens, there are many tight angles, pinch points, and virtually inaccessible areas that all require restoration work. Fully half of the work required would have to be done upside down on the undersides of the panels, tin order to use the Acryloid B72 stabilizing liquid..
Option 2: Remove the lens from the lantern room, perform all restoration, repair and stabilization on tables in the building to the west of the light tower.
Pros:
The lens will be protected from any potential damage related to construction activities. The work area for construction workers will be open to them and the lens will not be in the area.
OPTION SELECTED FOR
THIS SCOPE OF WORK
CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: TYLER FINKLE CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED FOR: USFWS - KILAUEA POINT NTL WILDLIFE REFUGE 9
The lens will be protected from construction activities.
All restoration work can easily be conducted with the lens panels laying horizontally on work benches which allows for easy access to all surfaces and areas that need work.
Work can be accomplished concurrently with construction work which would not be possible if the lens remains in the tower thus reducing the overall project time.
Doing the lens work in the adjacent building could allow the public to watch a lens restoration project and ask questions about the work of lampists and learn about an almost lost art.
Cons:
This option would require the lens be removed from the tower. However, after studying the stairway dimensions in the tower at each floor there is more than adequate space to move the panels very safely down the tower and across the lawn to the building. There are adequate pick points on the metal stairways and deck openings to always have the panels safely restrained on a block and tackle.
All lens fasteners will be collected during the disassembly process and sorted and stored by type and use for easy reassembly after restoration work is complete.
VI. REINSTALLATION OF LENS:
The reassembly of the lens will take place after all the repair and construction work in the lighthouse and lantern room is completed.
The lens reinstallation will be done by same crew that removed it. The same safety requirements and methods that were used during the removal will be used again for the reinstallation. The base of the pedestal will first be checked for level and the lens will be aligned to match the lens’s original location and alignment.
During the reassembly, the lantern room will need to be treated as a “limited access” space in order to assure a disruption free environment for the safety of the lens.
VII. IN SUMMATION:
Upon completion of the lens reassembly, a short training session for USF&WS personnel will be conducted relative to care and maintenance practices and procedures. A site- specific maintenance manual outlining all the inspection, cleaning and maintenance procedures required, as well as emergency first-aid should there be a need for it.

It is recommended that the lens be periodically inspected by a Coast Guard Certified Lampist to evaluate its condition and its environment. Such inspections should be accomplished in two to three years after the work has been done and further inspection periods can be discussed for the future. Professional inspections should include any tune up procedures such as minor litharge repair and inspection and cleaning of the illumination apparatus.
