Ten of the most picturesque lighthouses that dot the U.S.’s eastern coastline are being given away at no cost or sold at auction by the federal government. However, like most things, there’s a catch – and it’s a pretty big (and costly) one. The General Services Administration (GSA) is inviting federal, state, and local agencies, nonprofit organizations, educational and community development agencies, or groups devoted to parks, recreation, culture, or historic preservation to apply to take over any of six historic lighthouses and their outbuildings available free of charge. However, anyone who assumes the role of lighthouse keeper for these storied buildings will be on the hook to pay for the upkeep and maintain them in keeping with federal and local requirements. 如果您曾經夢想過隱世並住在一座廢棄的燈塔中，請將此視為一個跡象。 點綴在美國東部海岸線上最美麗的燈塔正在免費贈送或由聯邦政府拍賣。 然而，像大多數事情一樣，有一個問題—而且是一個相當大（而且成本高）的問題。 總務管理局(GSA) 邀請聯邦、州和地方機構、非營利組織、教育和社區發展機構，或致力 於公園、娛樂、文化或歷史保護的團體申請接管六座歷史燈塔和他們的附屬建築免費提供 。 但是，任何承擔這些高層建築燈塔看守人角色的人都將承擔維護費用，並按照聯邦和地方 要求維護它們。 They’ll also have to be made publicly available for educational, recreational or cultural purposes. It’s not the first time the GSA has dabbled in offloading its crop of historic beacons. The United States Coast Guard has slowly been eliminating lighthouses from government inventory for years, even since the development of GPS technology has rendered them largely obsolete. However, despite no longer being essential in protecting mariners from peril, lighthouses remain fascinating and romantic buildings that capture the interest of people all over the world. “People really appreciate the heroic role of the solitary lighthouse keeper, ” John Kelly of the GSA’s office of real property disposition told The Associated Press, explaining their allure. “They were really the instruments to provide safe passage into some of these perilous harbours, which afforded communities great opportunities for commerce, and they’re often located in prominent locations that offer breathtaking views.” 它們還必須公開用於教育、娛樂或文化目的。 這不是 GSA 第一次涉足轉讓其歷史任務。多年來，美國海岸警衛隊一直在慢慢地從政府 庫存中淘汰燈塔，即使 GPS 技術的發展已經使它們在很大程度上已經過時。 然而，儘管燈塔不再是保護水手免遭危險的必需品，但它仍然是迷人而浪漫的建築，吸引 了全世界人們的興趣。 “人們真的很欣賞孤獨的燈塔守護者的英雄角色，”GSA 不動產處置辦公室的約翰·凱 利 (John Kelly) 告訴美聯社，解釋他們的魅力。“它們確實是提供安全通道進入其中一 些危險港口的工具，這些港口為社區提供了巨大的商業機會，而且它們通常位於享有壯麗 景色的顯眼位置。” The GSA has been transferring ownership of lighthouses since Congress passed the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act in 2000. About 150 lighthouses have been transferred, 80 or so given away and another 70 auctioned, raising more than US$10 million. As a Canadian, if you’d rather not relocate across the border to live out your lighthouse-keeper fantasy, you’ll be a bit more hard-pressed to find one for sale. Although Canada is home to more than 750 lighthouses, mostly in Maritime provinces, they only hit the market very occasionally. https://imgur.com/6F9xjAO 自國會於 2000 年通過《國家歷史燈塔保護法》以來，GSA 一直在轉讓燈塔的所有權。已 轉讓約 150 座燈塔，其中 80 座左右贈送，另外 70 座拍賣，籌集了超過 1000 萬美元 。 作為加拿大人，如果您不想跨過邊境搬遷來實現您的燈塔守護者幻想，那麼您會更難找到 一個待售的燈塔。儘管加拿大擁有 750 多座燈塔，大部分位於沿海省份，但它們只是偶 爾上市。 In 2008, the Canadian government issued the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act to encourage conservation of the buildings. Some communities have taken action to have their lighthouses declared heritage sites and many of the decommissioned buildings are maintained as tourist properties that house museums and gift shops. Others have been turned into private residences or hotels. But if you are absolutely set on getting your hands on a lighthouse, here are the six lighthouses being given away on U.S. soil this year: 2008 年，加拿大政府頒布了《遺產燈塔保護法》，以鼓勵對建築物進行保護。一些社區 已採取行動，將他們的燈塔宣佈為遺產地，許多退役的建築物被保留為博物館和禮品店內 的旅遊財產。其他的已經變成了私人住宅或旅館。 但是，如果您絕對想親手重塑一座燈塔，那麼以下是今年在美國土地上贈送的六座燈塔： Plymouth/Gurnet Light in Massachusetts Plymouth Light Station, with an octagonal wooden structure dates to 1842, stands near Cape Cod Bay and Plymouth Bay, April 5, 2023, in Plymouth, Mas Plymouth Light Station, with an octagonal wooden structure, dates to 1842 and stands near Cape Cod Bay and Plymouth Bay.
