- Official Description: NGS Datasheet
This triangulation station disk was found as described on the seawall at the southernmost edge of Ocean City. It was located easily using the historic descriptions. The Coast Guard tower (now adjacent to the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum) and the municipal parking lot are still in existence, while the witness post was not recovered. The posted coordinates were approximately 11.8 feet from the coordinates I recorded at the site. The disk is in good condition and the date and designation are legible; it appears that someone may have attempted to make the "1956" more visible.
