The Memoirs of a Coast Guard Ocean Engineer
with Rear Admiral Daniel R. May (Ret.)
Join Daniel R. May for a fascinating presentation on his decades of dedication to preserving America’s historic lighthouses and other vital aids to navigation.
Through personal reflections, behind-the-scenes insights, and engaging anecdotes, he shares the challenges, milestones, and passion that have helped protect these maritime landmarks and ensure their legacy endures.
Rear Admiral Daniel May, a 1979 graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, is the recipient of a Distinguished Service Medal and many other awards. During his career, he served as the engineer for major lighthouse projects, including the relocation of Block Island Southeast Light in Rhode Island (the first move of a major lighthouse in the United States), the relocation of Highland Light on Cape Cod, and the design and construction of a revetment to protect Montauk Light on Long Island, New York.
