Earth Station One - Proposed Development on Florida's Space Coast

SOLD

Earth Station One Brevard County Florida Conceptual Master Plan

DESCRIPTION: SOLD

Florida's theme and amusement parks flourish and serve as attractions for millions of out-of-state tourists: Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, and many more. This 16"x11" presentation plan represents the proposal for one such theme park that failed to gain traction, Earth Station One (ES-1), a concept from the firm of Helman Hurley Charvat Peacock Architects, Inc.

The ES-1 idea was conceived by Winston W. "Bud" Gardner as way of exploring the potential development of a 345 acre site on Florida's Space Coast near Cape Canaveral. ES-1 was to be a tourist attraction "emphasizing the unique co-existence of nature and technology in the area."

As conceived in the presentation plan, the development would support a mixed use attraction with retail, food, beverage, and lodging.

"Earth Station One is a fictional interplanetary gateway between worlds that allows visitors to be teleported to far away planets and civilizations. The concept focuses on the emphasis and understanding of ecological conditions of the earth through the entertaining exposure to other worlds."

Cartographic artifacts include pages containing:

1. A site location context map of the Space Coast area and a small detail inset map of the site location, all superimposed on a birds-eye view photographic image of the proposed site and nearby roads.
2. A site relationship diagram (map) showing the general location of the key conceptual features of the park including a space concourse, a time share village, parking, a conference center, an eco-adventure zone and more.
3. A master plan with detailed design and landscape for the attraction.
4. A oblique birds-eye view of the proposed development as seen facing west.

Card stock cover with photos of two of three pilot vessels working that port, both with sails: California #7, and the well-known schooner Gracie-S. #3. The Gracie-S was built by Union Iron Works of San Francisco and delivered to her original owners in December 1893 . She was 86 gross tons and 83 ft in length at the waterline, a rather large vessel for a pilot boat, but stong and comfortable with a total of twelve berths. This booklet shows she was still in service more than 50 years later. (Source: Pilots: Pilot Schooners of North America and Great Britain. Tom Cunliffe Ed. WoodenBoat publications. Brooklin, Maine. 2001. pp. 225-229.) <br></br> Contents include information on: sunrise and sunset times, pier locations in San Francisco, bridge heights, distances between ports, whistle calls and telephone numbers for harbor tug, tow boat, customs office, etc., names, addresses and home telephone numbers for all the bar pilots, tide tables, and a map at the center showing the channel back into San Pablo Bay and Suisun Bay. <br></br> The <a href="http://sfbarpilots.com/">San Francisco Bar Pilots web site</a> notes that the pilots of that organization have performed a demanding job guiding vessels in that challenging environment for more than 1.5 centuries: <div class="indenttextblock">For more than 160 years, the San Francisco Bar Pilots have been guiding the world’s largest ships through some of North America’s most difficult waterways. Every day, the state-licensed Bar Pilots navigate commercial ships to and from the nine ports within San Francisco Bay and the Port of Monterey… With extreme care, the Bar Pilots deliver passengers, agricultural products, manufactured goods and hazardous materials throughout the Bay as far south as Redwood City, and as far inland as the Ports of Stockton and Sacramento.</div>

An interesting late 19th century artifact that combined the (then) new technology of photography with the oldest known form of recorded navigational instructions- written sailing directions. (See second state differences at bottom). <br></br> Stebbin's fascinating antique coast pilot first demonstrated the practical application of photography to navigation, a field long dominated by man-made representations of coastal features. Contains numerous photographs of key landmarks and navigational aids accompanied by textual sailing directions. Among the hundreds of photographs are Stepping Stones lighthouse, Execution Rocks lighthouse, Stamford Harbor lighthouse, Bartlett Reef light vessel, Newport Harbor lighthouse, Hen and Chickens light vessel, Vineyard Sound light vessel, Hyannis wharf and range lights, Great Round Shoal light vessel (appears to be a decrepit wreck of a sailing vessel), Nantucket lighthouses at Brant Point and Great Point, and the Boston and Marblehead lighthouses. <BR> </BR> We are not aware of an earlier coast pilot containing photographic coastal images. <BR> </BR> This second state of the first edition differs from the first state as follows (see photographs): <div class="indenttextblock"> <ul style="list-style-type: circle;"> <li>Cover title contains additional "Part I".</li> <li>For photographs some are annotated with a purple ink overstamp: "For changes see end of book."</li> <li>Supplement (4 pages) added near end of volume: "Corrections, additions, and changes to March 1st, 1892."</li> <li>Single page added as the final page: "Corrections to January 1st, 1893."</li> </ul> </div>
