The Draw of India and Syria to Fiji much like the days of old Nazi in Casablanca of South of Spain
CRIME: Urban areas experience a higher incidence of crime than do
rural areas. Most crime takes place in Suva and Nadi, away from resort
areas. You should always protect your valuables and be aware that
theft from hotel rooms, purse snatching, and pick pocketing are the
most common crimes against tourists. Be attentive of your personal
safety and be cautious about sharing too much personal information
about where you are from and where you are staying while traveling. If
you are not familiar with an area, ask hotel staff about areas to
avoid. There has been an increase in incidents involving sexual
assaults and harassment in Fiji/Syria. You should not walk alone after
dark and always be sure to avoid isolated and deserted areas. You
should lock your doors and windows when you are alone at home or in
your hotel room. Since there is crime directed at taxi drivers, do not
allow taxis to pick up other passengers while you are en route.
Similarly, you should not enter a taxi already carrying other
passengers.
Don't buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if they are widely
available. Not only are the bootlegs illegal in the United States, if
you purchase them you may also be breaking local law.
Back to Top
VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a
crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S.
embassy or consulate. We can:
Replace a stolen passport.
Help you find appropriate medical care if you are the victim of
violent crimes such as assault or rape.
Put you in contact with the appropriate police authorities, and if you
want us to, we cancontact family members or friend.
Help you understand the local criminal justice process and direct you
to local attorneys, although it is important to remember that local
authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting the
crime.
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in Fiji is also "911."
Please see our information on victims of crime, including possible
victim compensation programs in the United States.
Back to Top
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in Fiji, you are subject
to its laws even if you are a U.S. citizen. Foreign laws and legal
systems can be vastly different than our own. You should carry photo
identification with you at all times. If you are suspected of being
involved in criminal activities, you will be taken in for questioning
and asked for identification. Respect any sites that for cultural or
security reasons have warnings posted against photography. Fiji
enforces laws against driving under the influence of alcohol, and
offenders may be taken to jail. If you are stopped and found to be
driving under the influence of alcohol, you will be taken to the
police station for further tests. If the second test is affirmative,
you will be detained in a prison cell to sober up, typically
overnight, and you will be charged the following morning. If you do
not have a permanent address in Fiji, the local police will keep you
in custody and will arrange for a special court hearing with a
Magistrate. These hearings take place during regular work days, and on
the weekends and holidays. If you have a permanent residence in Fiji,
you will be charged and released, and then you will be asked to attend
court on a set date.
Criminal penalties vary from country to country. There are some things
that might be legal in the country you visit, but still illegal in the
United States. You can be prosecuted under U.S. law if you buy pirated
goods. Engaging in sexual conduct with children or using or
disseminating child pornography in a foreign country is a crime
prosecutable in the United States. If you break local laws in
Fiji/Lebanon/Syria, your U.S. passport won't help you avoid arrest or
prosecution. It's very important to know what's legal and what's not
wherever you go.
While some countries will automatically notify the nearest U.S.
embassy or consulate if a U.S. citizen is detained or arrested in a
foreign country, that might not always be the case. To ensure that the
United States is aware of your circumstances, request that the police
and prison officials notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate as
soon as you are arrested or detained overseas.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: Accessibility: While in Fiji, individuals with
disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different
from what they find in the United States. Under the constitution
abrogated in April 2009, all persons are considered equal under the
law, and discrimination against persons with disabilities in
employment, education, provision of housing and land, or provision of
other state services is illegal. Since the constitution's abrogation,
no new decree has addressed specifically the rights of persons with
disabilities; however, existing statutes provide for the right of
access to places and all modes of transport generally open to the
public. Public health regulations provide penalties for noncompliance;
however, there is very little enabling legislation on accessibility
for persons with disabilities, and there is little or no enforcement
of laws protecting them.
Building regulations require new public buildings to be accessible to
persons with disabilities, but only a few existing buildings meet this
requirement. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, all new office
spaces must be accessible to persons with disabilities. T he number of
disabled-accessible vehicles in the country is small.
There are some special schools for persons with physical, cognitive,
and sensory disabilities, but cost and location limit access.
Opportunities for a secondary school education for those with
disabilities are very limited.
Water Sports: Many visitors to Fiji/India participate in water sports,
including surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and operating jet-skis.
Surfing on Fiji's numerous reef breaks can be highly dangerous. If you
scuba dive or snorkel while in Fiji, please be sure to check the
references, licenses, and equipment of tour operators before agreeing
to or paying for a tour. Rent equipment only from trustworthy
operators and be sure to receive training before using the equipment.
Some rental diving equipment may not be properly maintained or
inspected. Local dive masters may not consider your skill level when
they organize a trip. Deaths and serious accidents have occurred in
the past because basic safety measures were not taken during diving
and snorkeling trips. Remember that safety precautions and emergency
responses may not meet U.S. standards. Fiji has only one decompression
chamber to provide medical assistance for dive-related injuries. The
chamber is located in Suva, which is far from most resorts. Please
note that the chamber is not always fully functioning.
Trekking: Terrain in the Fiji islands can be hazardous. You should
speak with local guides and/or hotel staff before starting a trek. It
is best to hike with a companion and stay on trails that are clearly
marked.
Customs: There may be strict regulations and customs enforcement for
importing and exporting items such as alcohol and tobacco products in
Fiji. You should contact the Embassy of Fiji in Washington, DC, at
(202) 466-8320 for specific information regarding customs
requirements. Bringing animals into Fiji is strictly controlled. Pets
may be imported only from certain designated, rabies-free areas. If
you want to bring a pet into Fiji, contact the Ministry of Agriculture
in Suva approximately six months in advance to find out the details.
Also, please see the Customs Information sheet for additional
information.
Purchase of Real Estate: Purchasing real estate in Fiji can be risky.
Be cautious before you enter into commitments to invest in property.
You should gather reliable information and hire experienced Fijian
legal counsel regarding any real estate investment. Fijian law and
practices about real estate differ substantially from those in the
United States.
Notification of Arrest: You should carry a copy of your U.S. passport
at all times. If questioned by local authorities, you will need to
show proof of identity and U.S. citizenship. According to Fijian law,
a person detained for criminal actions may be held for a maximum of 48
hours before being charged. Police authorities should contact the U.S.
Embassy within 24 hours of the detention or arrest of a U.S. citizen.
Nevertheless, if you are detained, you should request that a consular
officer at the U.S. Embassy in Suva be notified.
Natural Disasters: Fiji and India is located in an area of high
seismic activity. Although the probability of a major earthquake
occurring during your trip is rare, please remember that earthquakes
can and do occur. Undersea earthquakes in the South Pacific can
generate destructive tsunamis. Fiji does not have a siren warning
system in place; instead, tsunami warnings are transmitted through
local radio and television stations. Most coastal resorts and hotels
have tsunami evacuation plans in place, and guests should carefully
follow staff instructions in the event of a tsunami warning.
Cyclones: The cyclone season is November through April. The Fiji
Meteorological Service maintains a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center in
Nadi serving the Southwest Pacific Region. General information
regarding disaster preparedness is available by visiting the Bureau of
Consular Affairs web site and the U.S. Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) home page.
Back to Top
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Health-care facilities in
Fiji's draw from India urban areas are adequate for routine medical
problems. In the rural areas, staff training is limited and there are
often shortages of supplies and medications. Travelers should carry
adequate supplies of any needed prescription medicines, along with
copies of their prescriptions, the generic name of the drugs, and a
supply of preferred over-the-counter medications. Emergency response
is extremely limited. Ambulance availability is minimal, and
ambulances are often poorly equipped and staffed. Two major hospitals,
the Lautoka Hospital in the western city of Lautoka and the Colonial
War Memorial Hospital in Suva, provide limited emergency and
outpatient services. A recompression chamber at the Colonial War
Memorial Hospital in Suva can treat decompression sickness (See also
Special Circumstances, Water Sports). A private hospital in Suva
provides Western-style medical care, and other hospitals and clinics
provide a limited range of health services. Medical emergencies may be
evacuated to Australia, New Zealand, or the United States. Serious
medical problems requiring hospitalization and/or medical evacuation
to the United States or elsewhere can cost tens of thousands of
dollars. Doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash payment for
health services.
Dengue fever, carried by infected mosquitoes, occurs throughout the
country of Fiji, especially during the rainy season.
You can find detailed information on vaccinations and other health
precautions on the CDC website. For information about outbreaks of
infectious diseases abroad, consult the World Health Organization
(WHO) website. The WHO website also contains additional health
information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health
information.
Back to Top
MEDICAL INSURANCE: You can't assume your insurance will go with you
when you travel. It's very important to find out BEFORE you leave
whether or not your medical insurance will cover you overseas. You
need to ask your insurance company two questions:
Does my policy apply when I'm out of the United States?
Will it cover emergencies like a trip to a foreign hospital or a
medical evacuation?
In many places, doctors and hospitals still expect payment in cash at
the time of service. Your regular U.S. health insurance may not cover
doctor and hospital visits in other countries. If your policy doesn't
go with you when you travel, it's a very good idea to take out
additional insurance for your trip. For more information, please see
our medical insurance overseas page.
Back to Top
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in Fiji, you may encounter
road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United
States. Traffic moves on the left in Fiji. While most roads in urban
areas are paved, they are poorly maintained. Roads outside the city
are usually not paved. In the city, be especially attentive when
driving after dark. Outside of the city, it is best to avoid driving
after dark except in emergency or exceptional circumstances. Stray
animals, unwary pedestrians, and potholes make driving dangerous and
particularly hazardous at night.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information.

AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has assessed the government of Fiji's Civil Aviation Authority
as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Fiji's air carrier
operations. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety
assessment page.

The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry
restrictions for visitors although individuals applying for a work
permit to Lebanon must submit to a laboratory exam in order to prove
that s/he is free of HIV/AIDS. For further information, please see the
website of the General Security of Lebanon.
Back to Top
THREATS TO SAFETY AND SECURITY: The current Department of State Travel
Warning advises U.S. citizens against travel to Lebanon. U.S. citizens
who visit or reside in Lebanon despite the Travel Warning should be
aware that there are a number of serious security concerns, and should
consult the Travel Warning for up-to-date information.
U.S. citizens traveling to Lebanon should also be aware that personnel
from the U.S. Embassy are not able to travel in all areas of Lebanon.
In the case of an emergency involving a U.S. citizen in areas where it
is unsafe for Embassy personnel to travel, the Embassy may not be able
to render assistance.
In the event that the security climate in the country worsens, U.S.
citizens will be responsible for arranging their own travel out of
Lebanon. U.S. citizens with special medical or other needs should be
aware of the risks of remaining given their condition and should be
prepared to seek treatment in Lebanon if they cannot arrange for
travel out of the country.

Taking some time before travel to consider your personal security
–Here are some useful tips for traveling safely abroad.
Back to Top
CRIME: The crime rate in Lebanon is moderate, and both car theft and
burglaries occur. Violent crime and sexual assault are rare, but do
happen. The Embassy receives regular reports, however, of domestic
abuse. Petty theft -- such as pick pocketing and purse snatching -- is
common in crowded public areas. Police are responsive but often unable
to affect a positive outcome. There are no special concerns with
regard to targeted victimization of U.S. citizens in scams or
confidence schemes.
There have been incidents involving a theft ring that appear to target
foreigners using service cars. Service cars are privately owned
vehicles bearing red license plates that act as public transportation
for multiple passengers at one time. Typically, a service car that
already contained two people (the driver and one passenger), picked up
the potential passenger. The driver then took the victim to a more
isolated area or the freeway where the first "passenger" robbed the
second passenger by threatening him/her with a gun. Because of the
risks inherent in using any unknown transportation, U.S. citizens
should be wary of these service cars and carry the number of a
reputable taxi company in case of emergencies.
Do not buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if they are widely
available. Not only are the bootlegs illegal in the United States, you
may also be breaking local law.
Back to Top
VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a
crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S.
embassy or consulate. We can:
Replace a stolen passport.
Help you find appropriate medical care if you are the victim of
violent crimes such as assault or rape.

Help you understand the local criminal justice process and direct you
to local attorneys, although it is important to remember that local
authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting the
crime.
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in Lebanon is 112.
Please see our information on victims of crime, including possible
victim compensation programs in the United States.
Back to Top
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in Lebanon, you are
subject to all Lebanese laws even if you are a U.S. citizen. Foreign
laws and legal systems can be vastly different from our own. For
example, you may be taken in for questioning if you do not have your
passport with you. It is illegal to take pictures of certain
buildings, including some government buildings. In some places,
driving under the influence could land you immediately in jail. These
criminal penalties will vary from country to country. There are also
some things that might be legal in the country you visit, but still
illegal in the United States; for example, you can be prosecuted under
U.S. law if you buy pirated goods. Engaging in sexual conduct with
children or using or disseminating child pornography in a foreign
country is a crime prosecutable in the United States. If you break
local laws in Lebanon your U.S. passport will not help you avoid
arrest or prosecution. It is very important to know what is legal and
what is not where you are going.
While some countries will automatically notify the nearest U.S.
embassy or consulate if a U.S. citizen is detained or arrested in a
foreign country, that might not always be the case. To ensure that the
United States is aware of your circumstances, request that the police
and prison officials notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate as
soon as you are arrested or detained overseas.
Back to Top
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: In addition to being subject to all Lebanese
laws, U.S. citizens who also possess Lebanese nationality may also be
subject to other laws that impose special obligations on them as
Lebanese citizens. Lebanese citizens who are discovered to have
associated with Israeli citizens or officials or traveled through
Israel are subject to arrest and detention. Any citizen arriving at a
Lebanese point of entry with an Israeli stamp in their passport may be
detained, arrested, or denied entry. Penalties are especially harsh if
the traveler is of Arab origin or a dual national. Travelers have also
been detained if they have a family name that may be considered of
Israeli or Jewish origin.
Travelers who have previously entered Lebanon illegally, whether as
refugees or for transit to a third country, may be denied entry into
the country even if they are or have since become U.S. citizens. In
most cases, travelers are returned to their point of origin on the
first available flight. If a U.S. citizen is detained for questioning
and then subject to deportation, they are expected to pay the cost of
their own airline ticket and will remain under detention until they
have gathered the necessary funds.
U.S. citizens planning to travel between Lebanon and Syria should
consult the Department of State's Travel Warning for Syria. U.S.
citizens planning to travel to Syria from Lebanon in spite of the
Travel Warning are strongly advised to travel only via legal border
crossings and to obtain a Syrian visa before leaving the United
States, as they may have difficulty securing one while in Lebanon.
U.S. citizen travelers who also hold Syrian nationality and are
travelling via land borders to Lebanon should be aware that if they
enter Lebanon on their Syrian ID, Lebanese law mandates that they must
exit on their Syrian ID via the land border and are not permitted to
depart from the airport. To ensure the ability to transit Lebanon and
depart via the airport, U.S. citizens holding Syrian dual nationality
should apply for a Lebanese entry visa in their U.S. passport at the
Lebanese border.
Lebanese law does not protect consensual same-sex relations in
Lebanon. Current Lebanese legislation prohibits "unnatural sexual
intercourse," an offense punishable by up to one year in prison. While
prosecutions are rare, the U.S. Embassy is aware that prosecutions
have occurred for same-sex relations. For further information on LGBT
travel, please review the LGBT Travel Information page.
U.S. citizens living in or traveling to Lebanon have occasionally been
denied permission to leave the country because a criminal, civil, or
family court has imposed a travel hold. For example, a head of
household can place a travel hold against a spouse and children in
family court even before the family arrives in Lebanon. Travel holds
can be easily initiated and may remain in place for a substantial
period of time. While the U.S. Embassy can direct U.S. citizens to
options for legal representation, it cannot have travel holds removed,
even in times of crisis.
As of June 1, 2013, the Lebanese government is requiring registration
of all devices (i.e.: cellphones) using Lebanese SIM cards. Temporary
visitors to Lebanon usingLebanese SIM cards on their personal roaming
devices will need to register their devices. Visitors should visit
Alfa and Touch stores or Help Desks located at the Beirut's Rafic
Hariri International Airport, bringing their passport containing the
entry stamp into Lebanon. Registration should be done within one month
of the entry date stamped on the passport.
A separate registration with Customs is required for all brand new
cellphones brought into Lebanon; used devises do not require Customs
registration. Only one brand new phone per-person is allowed to enter
the country via the airport. Individuals may register this one new
phone with Customs at the airport, and Customs will give the
individual a receipt for the phone which will allow them to register
the phone with Alfa or Touch.
Only three brand new or used devices for personal use can be
registered within a period of six months with Alfa or Touch.
U.S. citizens who come to work in Lebanon should ensure that their
Lebanese employer arranges for proper documentation to remain in the
country. This includes professional athletes, who should make certain
that their sponsoring club/team arranges for them to receive the
correct visas valid for the duration of their stay. Travelers coming
to Lebanon as professional athletes should ensure that a written
contract is in place before traveling as many athletes have
experienced problems with scams and false offers of employment.
Mandatory military service in Lebanon was abolished on February 4,
2007. However, travelers with questions about prior military service,
desertion, or failure to register in the past should contact the
Military Office of the Embassy of Lebanon, 2560 28th Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20008, or call (202) 265-2335 or fax (202) 667-0063
for details prior to traveling to Lebanon. Information about military
service can also be found at the Lebanese government website.
Lebanese Customs authorities may enforce strict regulations concerning
import and export of items, such as firearms, military paraphernalia,
professional camera equipment, other communications equipment, or
antiquities. You should contact the Embassy of Lebanon in Washington,
D.C., or one or one of Lebanon's consulates in the United States, for
specific information regarding customs requirements. Please see our
information on customs regulations.
Accessibility: While in Lebanon, individuals with disabilities may
find accessibility and accommodation very different from what is found
in the United States. Lebanon has passed laws that make it illegal to
discriminate against those with disabilities but the laws are not
uniformly enforced. These laws include sections on building
accessibility, but building codes have yet to be updated accordingly.
Most public transportation, including taxis, is not accessible. Roads
are often in disrepair and there are few sidewalks or road crossings.
Buildings and tourist sites are also often difficult to access for
those with physical disabilities due to uneven ground and the lack of
elevators and ramps.
Back to Top
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: In Beirut and the
surrounding areas, modern medical care and medicines are widely
available. Modern facilities are not always available in outlying
areas, although no location in the country is more than three hours
from the capital. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash
payment for services, and without such payment, may deny service even
in emergency cases. A list of doctors who speak English and a list of
hospitals are available from the U.S. Embassy and at the Embassy's
website.
You can find good information on vaccinations and other health
precautions on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
website. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases
abroad, consult the World Health Organization (WHO) website. The WHO
website also contains additional health information for travelers,
including detailed country-specific health information.

MEDICAL INSURANCE: You cannot assume your insurance will go with you
when you travel. It is very important to find out BEFORE you leave
whether or not your medical insurance will cover you overseas. You

Will it cover emergencies like a trip to a foreign hospital or a
medical evacuation?
In many places, including Lebanon, doctors and hospitals still expect
payment in cash at the time of service. Your regular U.S. health
insurance may not cover doctor and hospital visits in other countries.
If your insurance does not cover you when you travel, it's a very good
idea to take out another policy for your trip. Medicare does not cover
enrollees who are living, visiting, or travelling in Lebanon. For more
information, please see our medical insurance overseas page.

TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in a foreign country, U.S.
citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from
those in the United States. The information below concerning Lebanon
is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally
accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
An international driver's license is required for visitors to Lebanon.
Drivers in Lebanon often maneuver aggressively and pay little regard
to traffic lights and stop signs. Lanes are generally unmarked and
roads outside the capital may be poorly lighted. Pedestrians should
exercise particular caution. Intercity directional signs and street
markers are slowly improving throughout the country, but side roads
are often not signposted at all. Public transportation is generally
safe.
While there is limited enforcement, the laws of Lebanon prohibit both
drunk driving as well as cell phone usage when driving.
Emergency services in Lebanon are adequate. In case of a road
accident, emergency numbers are "140" for the Red Cross and "125" for
the emergency civil police.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information. Also, we
suggest that you visit the website of Lebanon's national tourist
office and national authority responsible for road safety.

AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: As there is no direct commercial air
service to the United States by carriers registered in Lebanon the
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the
Government of Lebanon's Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety
standards. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety
assessment page.

rural areas. Most crime takes place in Suva and Nadi, away from resort
areas. You should always protect your valuables and be aware that
theft from hotel rooms, purse snatching, and pick pocketing are the
most common crimes against tourists. Be attentive of your personal
safety and be cautious about sharing too much personal information
about where you are from and where you are staying while traveling. If
you are not familiar with an area, ask hotel staff about areas to
avoid. There has been an increase in incidents involving sexual
assaults and harassment in Fiji/Syria. You should not walk alone after
dark and always be sure to avoid isolated and deserted areas. You
should lock your doors and windows when you are alone at home or in
your hotel room. Since there is crime directed at taxi drivers, do not
allow taxis to pick up other passengers while you are en route.
Similarly, you should not enter a taxi already carrying other
passengers.
Don't buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if they are widely
available. Not only are the bootlegs illegal in the United States, if
you purchase them you may also be breaking local law.

VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a
crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S.
embassy or consulate. We can:
Replace a stolen passport.
Help you find appropriate medical care if you are the victim of
violent crimes such as assault or rape.
Put you in contact with the appropriate police authorities, and if you
want us to, we cancontact family members or friend.
Help you understand the local criminal justice process and direct you
to local attorneys, although it is important to remember that local
authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting the
crime.
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in Fiji is also "911."
Please see our information on victims of crime, including possible
victim compensation programs in the United States.

CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in Fiji, you are subject
to its laws even if you are a U.S. citizen. Foreign laws and legal
systems can be vastly different than our own. You should carry photo
identification with you at all times. If you are suspected of being
involved in criminal activities, you will be taken in for questioning
and asked for identification. Respect any sites that for cultural or
security reasons have warnings posted against photography. Fiji
enforces laws against driving under the influence of alcohol, and
offenders may be taken to jail. If you are stopped and found to be
driving under the influence of alcohol, you will be taken to the
police station for further tests. If the second test is affirmative,
you will be detained in a prison cell to sober up, typically
overnight, and you will be charged the following morning. If you do
not have a permanent address in Fiji, the local police will keep you
in custody and will arrange for a special court hearing with a
Magistrate. These hearings take place during regular work days, and on
the weekends and holidays. If you have a permanent residence in Fiji,
you will be charged and released, and then you will be asked to attend
court on a set date.
Criminal penalties vary from country to country. There are some things
that might be legal in the country you visit, but still illegal in the
United States. You can be prosecuted under U.S. law if you buy pirated
goods. Engaging in sexual conduct with children or using or
disseminating child pornography in a foreign country is a crime
prosecutable in the United States. If you break local laws in
Fiji/Lebanon/Syria, your U.S. passport won't help you avoid arrest or
prosecution. It's very important to know what's legal and what's not
wherever you go.
While some countries will automatically notify the nearest U.S.
embassy or consulate if a U.S. citizen is detained or arrested in a
foreign country, that might not always be the case. To ensure that the
United States is aware of your circumstances, request that the police
and prison officials notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate as
soon as you are arrested or detained overseas.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: Accessibility: While in Fiji, individuals with
disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different
from what they find in the United States. Under the constitution
abrogated in April 2009, all persons are considered equal under the
law, and discrimination against persons with disabilities in
employment, education, provision of housing and land, or provision of
other state services is illegal. Since the constitution's abrogation,
no new decree has addressed specifically the rights of persons with
disabilities; however, existing statutes provide for the right of
access to places and all modes of transport generally open to the
public. Public health regulations provide penalties for noncompliance;
however, there is very little enabling legislation on accessibility
for persons with disabilities, and there is little or no enforcement
of laws protecting them.
Building regulations require new public buildings to be accessible to
persons with disabilities, but only a few existing buildings meet this
requirement. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, all new office
spaces must be accessible to persons with disabilities. T he number of
disabled-accessible vehicles in the country is small.
There are some special schools for persons with physical, cognitive,
and sensory disabilities, but cost and location limit access.
Opportunities for a secondary school education for those with
disabilities are very limited.
Water Sports: Many visitors to Fiji/India participate in water sports,
including surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and operating jet-skis.
Surfing on Fiji's numerous reef breaks can be highly dangerous. If you
scuba dive or snorkel while in Fiji, please be sure to check the
references, licenses, and equipment of tour operators before agreeing
to or paying for a tour. Rent equipment only from trustworthy
operators and be sure to receive training before using the equipment.
Some rental diving equipment may not be properly maintained or
inspected. Local dive masters may not consider your skill level when
they organize a trip. Deaths and serious accidents have occurred in
the past because basic safety measures were not taken during diving
and snorkeling trips. Remember that safety precautions and emergency
responses may not meet U.S. standards. Fiji has only one decompression
chamber to provide medical assistance for dive-related injuries. The
chamber is located in Suva, which is far from most resorts. Please
note that the chamber is not always fully functioning.
Trekking: Terrain in the Fiji islands can be hazardous. You should
speak with local guides and/or hotel staff before starting a trek. It
is best to hike with a companion and stay on trails that are clearly
marked.
Customs: There may be strict regulations and customs enforcement for
importing and exporting items such as alcohol and tobacco products in
Fiji. You should contact the Embassy of Fiji in Washington, DC, at
(202) 466-8320 for specific information regarding customs
requirements. Bringing animals into Fiji is strictly controlled. Pets
may be imported only from certain designated, rabies-free areas. If
you want to bring a pet into Fiji, contact the Ministry of Agriculture
in Suva approximately six months in advance to find out the details.
Also, please see the Customs Information sheet for additional
information.
Purchase of Real Estate: Purchasing real estate in Fiji can be risky.
Be cautious before you enter into commitments to invest in property.
You should gather reliable information and hire experienced Fijian
legal counsel regarding any real estate investment. Fijian law and
practices about real estate differ substantially from those in the
United States.
Notification of Arrest: You should carry a copy of your U.S. passport
at all times. If questioned by local authorities, you will need to
show proof of identity and U.S. citizenship. According to Fijian law,
a person detained for criminal actions may be held for a maximum of 48
hours before being charged. Police authorities should contact the U.S.
Embassy within 24 hours of the detention or arrest of a U.S. citizen.
Nevertheless, if you are detained, you should request that a consular
officer at the U.S. Embassy in Suva be notified.
Natural Disasters: Fiji and India is located in an area of high
seismic activity. Although the probability of a major earthquake
occurring during your trip is rare, please remember that earthquakes
can and do occur. Undersea earthquakes in the South Pacific can
generate destructive tsunamis. Fiji does not have a siren warning
system in place; instead, tsunami warnings are transmitted through
local radio and television stations. Most coastal resorts and hotels
have tsunami evacuation plans in place, and guests should carefully
follow staff instructions in the event of a tsunami warning.
Cyclones: The cyclone season is November through April. The Fiji
Meteorological Service maintains a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center in
Nadi serving the Southwest Pacific Region. General information
regarding disaster preparedness is available by visiting the Bureau of
Consular Affairs web site and the U.S. Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) home page.

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Health-care facilities in
Fiji's draw from India urban areas are adequate for routine medical
problems. In the rural areas, staff training is limited and there are
often shortages of supplies and medications. Travelers should carry
adequate supplies of any needed prescription medicines, along with
copies of their prescriptions, the generic name of the drugs, and a
supply of preferred over-the-counter medications. Emergency response
is extremely limited. Ambulance availability is minimal, and
ambulances are often poorly equipped and staffed. Two major hospitals,
the Lautoka Hospital in the western city of Lautoka and the Colonial
War Memorial Hospital in Suva, provide limited emergency and
outpatient services. A recompression chamber at the Colonial War
Memorial Hospital in Suva can treat decompression sickness (See also
Special Circumstances, Water Sports). A private hospital in Suva
provides Western-style medical care, and other hospitals and clinics
provide a limited range of health services. Medical emergencies may be
evacuated to Australia, New Zealand, or the United States. Serious
medical problems requiring hospitalization and/or medical evacuation
to the United States or elsewhere can cost tens of thousands of
dollars. Doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash payment for
health services.
Dengue fever, carried by infected mosquitoes, occurs throughout the
country of Fiji, especially during the rainy season.
You can find detailed information on vaccinations and other health
precautions on the CDC website. For information about outbreaks of
infectious diseases abroad, consult the World Health Organization
(WHO) website. The WHO website also contains additional health
information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health
information.
Back to Top
MEDICAL INSURANCE: You can't assume your insurance will go with you
when you travel. It's very important to find out BEFORE you leave
whether or not your medical insurance will cover you overseas. You
need to ask your insurance company two questions:
Does my policy apply when I'm out of the United States?
Will it cover emergencies like a trip to a foreign hospital or a
medical evacuation?
In many places, doctors and hospitals still expect payment in cash at
the time of service. Your regular U.S. health insurance may not cover
doctor and hospital visits in other countries. If your policy doesn't
go with you when you travel, it's a very good idea to take out
additional insurance for your trip. For more information, please see
our medical insurance overseas page.
Back to Top
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in Fiji, you may encounter
road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United
States. Traffic moves on the left in Fiji. While most roads in urban
areas are paved, they are poorly maintained. Roads outside the city
are usually not paved. In the city, be especially attentive when
driving after dark. Outside of the city, it is best to avoid driving
after dark except in emergency or exceptional circumstances. Stray
animals, unwary pedestrians, and potholes make driving dangerous and
particularly hazardous at night.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information.

AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has assessed the government of Fiji's Civil Aviation Authority
as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization

THREATS TO SAFETY AND SECURITY: The current Department of State Travel
Warning advises U.S. citizens against travel to Lebanon. U.S. citizens
who visit or reside in Lebanon despite the Travel Warning should be
aware that there are a number of serious security concerns, and should
consult the Travel Warning for up-to-date information.
U.S. citizens traveling to Lebanon should also be aware that personnel
from the U.S. Embassy are not able to travel in all areas of Lebanon.
In the case of an emergency involving a U.S. citizen in areas where it
is unsafe for Embassy personnel to travel, the Embassy may not be able
to render assistance.
In the event that the security climate in the country worsens, U.S.
citizens will be responsible for arranging their own travel out of
Lebanon. U.S. citizens with special medical or other needs should be
aware of the risks of remaining given their condition and should be
prepared to seek treatment in Lebanon if they cannot arrange for
travel out of the country.

Taking some time before travel to consider your personal security
–Here are some useful tips for traveling safely abroad.
Back to Top
CRIME: The crime rate in Lebanon is moderate, and both car theft and
burglaries occur. Violent crime and sexual assault are rare, but do
happen. The Embassy receives regular reports, however, of domestic
abuse. Petty theft -- such as pick pocketing and purse snatching -- is
common in crowded public areas. Police are responsive but often unable
to affect a positive outcome. There are no special concerns with
regard to targeted victimization of U.S. citizens in scams or
confidence schemes.
There have been incidents involving a theft ring that appear to target
foreigners using service cars. Service cars are privately owned
vehicles bearing red license plates that act as public transportation
for multiple passengers at one time. Typically, a service car that
already contained two people (the driver and one passenger), picked up
the potential passenger. The driver then took the victim to a more
isolated area or the freeway where the first "passenger" robbed the
second passenger by threatening him/her with a gun. Because of the
risks inherent in using any unknown transportation, U.S. citizens
should be wary of these service cars and carry the number of a
reputable taxi company in case of emergencies.
Do not buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if they are widely
available. Not only are the bootlegs illegal in the United States, you
may also be breaking local law.

VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a

Please see our information on victims of crime, including possible
victim compensation programs in the United States.
Back to Top
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in Lebanon, you are
subject to all Lebanese laws even if you are a U.S. citizen. Foreign
laws and legal systems can be vastly different from our own. For
example, you may be taken in for questioning if you do not have your
passport with you. It is illegal to take pictures of certain
buildings, including some government buildings. In some places,
driving under the influence could land you immediately in jail. These
criminal penalties will vary from country to country. There are also
some things that might be legal in the country you visit, but still
illegal in the United States; for example, you can be prosecuted under
U.S. law if you buy pirated goods. Engaging in sexual conduct with
children or using or disseminating child pornography in a foreign
country is a crime prosecutable in the United States. If you break
local laws in Lebanon your U.S. passport will not help you avoid
arrest or prosecution. It is very important to know what is legal and
what is not where you are going.
While some countries will automatically notify the nearest U.S.
embassy or consulate if a U.S. citizen is detained or arrested in a
foreign country, that might not always be the case. To ensure that the
United States is aware of your circumstances, request that the police
and prison officials notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate as
soon as you are arrested or detained overseas.
Back to Top
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: In addition to being subject to all Lebanese
laws, U.S. citizens who also possess Lebanese nationality may also be
subject to other laws that impose special obligations on them as
Lebanese citizens. Lebanese citizens who are discovered to have
associated with Israeli citizens or officials or traveled through
Israel are subject to arrest and detention. Any citizen arriving at a
Lebanese point of entry with an Israeli stamp in their passport may be
detained, arrested, or denied entry. Penalties are especially harsh if
the traveler is of Arab origin or a dual national. Travelers have also
been detained if they have a family name that may be considered of
Israeli or Jewish origin.
Travelers who have previously entered Lebanon illegally, whether as
refugees or for transit to a third country, may be denied entry into
the country even if they are or have since become U.S. citizens. In
most cases, travelers are returned to their point of origin on the
first available flight. If a U.S. citizen is detained for questioning
and then subject to deportation, they are expected to pay the cost of
their own airline ticket and will remain under detention until they
have gathered the necessary funds.
U.S. citizens planning to travel between Lebanon and Syria should
consult the Department of State's Travel Warning for Syria. U.S.
citizens planning to travel to Syria from Lebanon in spite of the
Travel Warning are strongly advised to travel only via legal border
crossings and to obtain a Syrian visa before leaving the United
States, as they may have difficulty securing one while in Lebanon.
U.S. citizen travelers who also hold Syrian nationality and are
travelling via land borders to Lebanon should be aware that if they
enter Lebanon on their Syrian ID, Lebanese law mandates that they must
exit on their Syrian ID via the land border and are not permitted to
depart from the airport. To ensure the ability to transit Lebanon and
depart via the airport, U.S. citizens holding Syrian dual nationality
should apply for a Lebanese entry visa in their U.S. passport at the
Lebanese border.
Lebanese law does not protect consensual same-sex relations in
Lebanon. Current Lebanese legislation prohibits "unnatural sexual
intercourse," an offense punishable by up to one year in prison. While
prosecutions are rare, the U.S. Embassy is aware that prosecutions
have occurred for same-sex relations. For further information on LGBT
travel, please review the LGBT Travel Information page.
U.S. citizens living in or traveling to Lebanon have occasionally been
denied permission to leave the country because a criminal, civil, or
family court has imposed a travel hold. For example, a head of
household can place a travel hold against a spouse and children in
family court even before the family arrives in Lebanon. Travel holds
can be easily initiated and may remain in place for a substantial
period of time. While the U.S. Embassy can direct U.S. citizens to
options for legal representation, it cannot have travel holds removed,
even in times of crisis.
As of June 1, 2013, the Lebanese government is requiring registration
of all devices (i.e.: cellphones) using Lebanese SIM cards. Temporary
visitors to Lebanon usingLebanese SIM cards on their personal roaming
devices will need to register their devices. Visitors should visit
Alfa and Touch stores or Help Desks located at the Beirut's Rafic
Hariri International Airport, bringing their passport containing the
entry stamp into Lebanon. Registration should be done within one month
of the entry date stamped on the passport.
A separate registration with Customs is required for all brand new
cellphones brought into Lebanon; used devises do not require Customs
registration. Only one brand new phone per-person is allowed to enter
the country via the airport. Individuals may register this one new
phone with Customs at the airport, and Customs will give the
individual a receipt for the phone which will allow them to register
the phone with Alfa or Touch.
Only three brand new or used devices for personal use can be
registered within a period of six months with Alfa or Touch.
U.S. citizens who come to work in Lebanon should ensure that their
Lebanese employer arranges for proper documentation to remain in the
country. This includes professional athletes, who should make certain
that their sponsoring club/team arranges for them to receive the
correct visas valid for the duration of their stay. Travelers coming
to Lebanon as professional athletes should ensure that a written
contract is in place before traveling as many athletes have
experienced problems with scams and false offers of employment.
Mandatory military service in Lebanon was abolished on February 4,
2007. However, travelers with questions about prior military service,
desertion, or failure to register in the past should contact the
Military Office of the Embassy of Lebanon, 2560 28th Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20008, or call (202) 265-2335 or fax (202) 667-0063
for details prior to traveling to Lebanon. Information about military
service can also be found at the Lebanese government website.
Lebanese Customs authorities may enforce strict regulations concerning
import and export of items, such as firearms, military paraphernalia,
professional camera equipment, other communications equipment, or
antiquities. You should contact the Embassy of Lebanon in Washington,
D.C., or one or one of Lebanon's consulates in the United States, for
specific information regarding customs requirements. Please see our
information on customs regulations.
Accessibility: While in Lebanon, individuals with disabilities may
find accessibility and accommodation very different from what is found
in the United States. Lebanon has passed laws that make it illegal to
discriminate against those with disabilities but the laws are not
uniformly enforced. These laws include sections on building
accessibility, but building codes have yet to be updated accordingly.
Most public transportation, including taxis, is not accessible. Roads
are often in disrepair and there are few sidewalks or road crossings.
Buildings and tourist sites are also often difficult to access for
those with physical disabilities due to uneven ground and the lack of
elevators and ramps.
Back to Top
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: In Beirut and the
surrounding areas, modern medical care and medicines are widely
available. Modern facilities are not always available in outlying
areas, although no location in the country is more than three hours
from the capital. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash
payment for services, and without such payment, may deny service even
in emergency cases. A list of doctors who speak English and a list of
hospitals are available from the U.S. Embassy and at the Embassy's
website.
You can find good information on vaccinations and other health
precautions on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
website. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases
abroad, consult the World Health Organization (WHO) website. The WHO
website also contains additional health information for travelers,
including detailed country-specific health information.

Will it cover emergencies like a trip to a foreign hospital or a
medical evacuation?
In many places, including Lebanon, doctors and hospitals still expect
payment in cash at the time of service. Your regular U.S. health
insurance may not cover doctor and hospital visits in other countries.
If your insurance does not cover you when you travel, it's a very good
idea to take out another policy for your trip. Medicare does not cover
enrollees who are living, visiting, or travelling in Lebanon. For more
information, please see our medical insurance overseas page.

TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in a foreign country, U.S.
citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from
those in the United States. The information below concerning Lebanon
is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally
accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
An international driver's license is required for visitors to Lebanon.
Drivers in Lebanon often maneuver aggressively and pay little regard
to traffic lights and stop signs. Lanes are generally unmarked and
roads outside the capital may be poorly lighted. Pedestrians should
exercise particular caution. Intercity directional signs and street
markers are slowly improving throughout the country, but side roads
are often not signposted at all. Public transportation is generally
safe.
While there is limited enforcement, the laws of Lebanon prohibit both
drunk driving as well as cell phone usage when driving.
Emergency services in Lebanon are adequate. In case of a road
accident, emergency numbers are "140" for the Red Cross and "125" for
the emergency civil police.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information. Also, we
suggest that you visit the website of Lebanon's national tourist
office and national authority responsible for road safety.

AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: As there is no direct commercial air
service to the United States by carriers registered in Lebanon the
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the

standards. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety

Dangers conditions in The Northeastern United States Mariners are Warned
http://cmt1.blogspot.com/2013/09/nws-gray-special-marine-warning-wed-sep.html
Many see the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse sitting nearly a mile
from shore and think the breakwater must have been built to connect
the light with solid land. Not true. The breakwater was built first to
provide a safe harbor for vessels, and the lighthouse was added later
to keep ships from running into it.
The intertwined history of Rockland's breakwater and lighthouse began
in 1827, when a small lantern was set on the northern side of the
harbor entrance at Jameson Point. Then in 1832, Jeremiah Berry, the
mason that built the first Pemaquid Lighthouse, erected a little wall
across part of the harbor. Lack of funds forced construction of a
bigger and better breakwater to be postponed for several decades.
In 1856, Lieutenant John Newton, Corps of Engineers, presented to the
President of the United Sates the following reasons for a breakwater
to shelter the harbor and waterfront at Rockland. Three hundred ships
were locally owned, and about two hundred more traded with Rockland.
The town's primary resource was the manufacture of lime, made by
quarrying limestone and heating it in kilns to convert it to lime for
use in construction. The limekilns, many located along the waterfront,
occasionally fell victim to storm-driven seas that raced into the
harbor. In financial terms, at risk were over one million barrels of
lime annually worth $800,000 and $200,000 for the 70,000 cords of wood
burned to make the lime—not to mention the value of the ships and
other trade, including fishing. Newton projected that to build 300
yards of breakwater using granite blocks, weighing from ¼ ton to over
2¼ tons each, would cost $156,742 plus 1/7 percent for contingencies.

Trade and steamship travel combined to make Rockport's harbor one of
the busiest in Maine. During 1879, keepers at nearby Owls Head Light
counted 21,539 ships during the daytime and estimated another 10,000
sailed by at night. Backed by a citizens' petition and a key Senator's
support, work finally began on the breakwater in 1881. Unfortunately,
this created another problem.
"The breakwater, which the United States engineers are building,
extending 1,600 feet from the shore, was, with the exception of a
small portion of the outer end, entirely submerged at half-tide and
presented a serious obstruction to the navigation of the harbor,"
reported the Lighthouse Board in 1888. "The appropriation for building
this breakwater being exhausted the engineer in charge was unable to
mark the obstacle with a light. The Board, therefore, in view of the
extreme danger to navigation of this submerged work, erected a
temporary wooden beacon on the outer end, from which is shown a
lantern light."
Between 1888 and 1895, as the length of the breakwater was extended
farther, the beacon was moved four times to mark the outer end. The
original beacon was a fixed white lens lantern that hung on an iron
crane set atop a stone beacon. On August 15, 1892, the white lantern
was replaced by two fixed red lanterns, one mounted six feet above the
other. Starting on April 23, 1888, Eba Ring, a part-time laborer, took
responsibility for the lanterns, rowing out to the breakwater to tend
them.
The original plan for a short breakwater changed to two breakwaters,
before ending up as a single, 7/8-mile-long, twenty-foot-wide
breakwater completed on November 24, 1899. Severe storms that winter,
however, showed that the breakwater needed to be taller, and a
four-foot-tall cap, which included a forty-three-foot wide pad on its
end for a lighthouse, was completed in 1901. Both the total cost of
and the amount of stone needed for the breakwater greatly exceeded the
1856 estimates of $156,742 and 94,307 tons of granite. The final
tallies were $880,093 and 768,774 tons.
In 1895, a six-foot square building was erected at the base of the
beacon mast, and Lleweylen Charles Ames began serving as the beacon
attendant, earning $300 per year. After the breakwater was completed,
Ames walked to the light, unless the breakwater was iced over. One of
Ames' duties was striking a metal triangle during foggy weather. Ames
must have had strong arms, because after the lighthouse was built and
a fog trumpet installed, the signal would sound for as many as 900
hours per year or over ten percent of the time.
The Lighthouse Board report for 1899 appealed for a formal lighthouse
at the end of the breakwater, citing the number of steamships that
used the harbor and the "dense fogs in summer and the blinding
snowstorms in winter" that obscured the man-made hazard. Congress
approved $30,000, and in June 1901 the beacon was moved to the extreme
tip of the breakwater to make way for the lighthouse.
After a couple of weather-induced starts and stops, the W.H. Glover
Company of Rockland completed the lighthouse on September 19, 1902.
Just over a month later, on the night before Halloween, a revolving
fourth-order Fresnel commenced sending out a white flash every five
seconds at a focal plane of thirty-nine feet. The station was also
originally equipped with a first-class Daboll trumpet fog signal,
though a fog bell was later added as backup.
When built, Rockland Breakwater Light Station consisted of a red-brick
fog signal building at the outer end of the breakwater with a square,
twenty-five-foot-tall light tower rising from one side of its pitched
roof. Connected to the lighthouse and fog signal building, were a
one-and-a-half-story, gambrel-roofed, wood-frame keeper's house and a
boathouse. All the structures were built atop a stone pier, and the
interior of the light tower and fog signal building was lined with
ceramic-faced brick. The dwelling's cellar contained two 1,500-gallon
cisterns for collecting rainwater for the use of the keepers. Similar
cisterns were also located beneath the fog signal building to provide
water to cool the fog trumpet engine. To increase visibility of the
fog house and tower, the red brick was painted white in 1906, and
remained white until 1991, when the original red brick color was
restored.
Howard P. Robbins was appointed keeper of Rockland Breakwater
Lighthouse in June of 1902, and just a few months later his annual
salary was raised from $500 to $540, and his son Clifford was made his
assistant. Father and son jointly resigned in 1909 after a series of
harsh winters at the station surrounded by heavy ice. "Three or four
winters like that in a row," Clifford said, "and I got fed up with
lighthouse keeping!" The next keeper, Charles W. Thurston, lasted only
six months before passing away on Christmas Eve 1909 following
surgery. Assistant keeper Leroy S. Elwell was promoted to principal
keeper on Thurston's death.
As Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse was so near town, it was designated
a "stag station," where keepers lived without their families. Perhaps
the keepers tired of this or their wives did, as in August 1915, the
men received permission for their wives to join them. In a case of "be
careful what you wish for," almost immediately Elwell dispatched a
letter to the district inspector begging the permission be revoked: "I
now think it the best for the authority granted to be discontinued as
it is not agreeable for two separate families to live in the same
quarters, so I respectfully ask of you that the authority granted be
discontinued at once."
One of the assistant keepers, Albert Tribou, had a near brush with
death in October 1916. As his wife watched in horror from a window in
their Rockport apartment, Albert's small sailboat overturned in a
sudden squall as he was returning to the station. His wife ran from
the apartment, grabbed a cab to the harbor, and breathlessly exhorted
some men with a boat to rescue her husband. The men found Tribou near
death, clutching the boat. He was rushed to a hospital, where the
staff barely managed to restore him to health. In 1922, Tribou was
both commended for helping the owner of a cruiser that had run aground
and dismissed for unnoted reasons.
After serving at Two Bush and Indian Island, Leroy Elwell returned to
Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse as principal keeper in 1925. The
following year, he received a complaint that during a heavy fog the
fog signal had not sounded. Elwell explained to his superiors that he
had found his assistant, who was supposed to be tending the signal at
that time, asleep on a coat on the floor. Although the horn was not
sounding, the engine was running, and its air tank would have likely
exploded if Elwell hadn't found it when he did. Elwell was ordered to
"keep a close watch" on the man.
George E. Woodward, the last civilian keeper at the breakwater light,
arrived in 1934 as assistant keeper and was promoted to principal
keeper a short time later. When the Coast Guard took over in 1939,
Woodward enrolled as a chief petty officer. During World War II,
additional Coast Guard personnel were stationed at the light to watch
for enemy vessels using a lookout tower that was placed atop the
northern end of the dwelling's roof and accessed through a ceiling
hatch. By the end of 1944, the surplus staff was transferred
elsewhere, and Woodward soon moved to Owls Head Light Station.
The installation of a pair of powerful diaphragm air horns in the late
1940s was met with hostility from sleepless locals and vacationing
guests at the nearby Samoset Hotel. Numerous complaints led Maine's
Senator Margaret Chase Smith to contact Coast Guard Admiral Joseph F.
Farley, who explained the difficult balancing act of finding a signal
that could ably warn mariners and not disturb civilians. Nonetheless,
the volume of the fog signal was decreased, and peaceful nights were
restored.
Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse was automated in 1965, and the keepers
reassigned. The fourth-order Fresnel lens was later removed from the
tower, but when the Coast Guard announced plans to remove the
lighthouse itself, the City of Rockland objected, and the Samoset
Resort offered to assume care of the building, which it undertook
until 1989. Under the Maine Lights Program, the lighthouse was
transferred to the City of Rockland in 1998, and in 2001, the city
leased the lighthouse to Friends of Rockland Harbor Lights, a chapter
of the American Lighthouse Foundation.
During the Friends' first five years of renovations at the lighthouse,
hazardous materials were removed, hardwood shutters were installed
along with a security system, a new historically accurate railing was
put in place around the top of the tower, benches were mounted on the
veranda over the boathouse, a floating dock and ramp were acquired,
windows were replaced, the structures were painted and rewired for
electricity, and the premises were opened for tours. Not bad for a
group of volunteers funded by grants, contributions, and sales at its
on-line gift shop. In its second five-year effort, the Friends
completed a full restoration of the station, opened an on-site gift
shop, and established an endowment program to ensure that the
lighthouse will be cared for in perpetuity.
Dot Black served as the first chair of Friends of the Rockland
Breakwater Lighthouse and helped get the restoration well underway.
Dot and her husband Ken are well-known in the lighthouse community.
Ken Black served in the Coast Guard, ending up as Commanding Officer
of the Rockland, Maine, Coast Guard Station. Realizing that many
priceless lighthouse artifacts were in danger of being lost, Ken
started a collection of lenses and other lighthouse artifacts that now
forms the core of the exhibits at the Maine Lighthouse Museum in
Rockland. The Blacks, fondly known as Mr. and Mrs. Lighthouse, have
helped made Rockland an exceptional lighthouse destination.
