Did you take a boat tour this summer?

by Susan on 11/02/14

In 2014, we gave  approximately 120 hour-long lighthouse tours, 18 sunset &
full-moon harbor tours, 8 Plum Island day trips, 7 Ledge Light trips, 2 Fishers Island excursions, and 1 BIG five-hour tour of area lighthouses -- in all, approximately 1,300 guests learned about New London’s lighthouses and our local maritime history.  We hired local watermen and boats and utilized NL ferries.
NLMS presented boat tours and special programs across seventeen weekends -- July through October.
All tour guides were NLMS volunteers. We did it all without grants or subsidies -- and made a profit!
And all money raised (over boat costs) went to the New London Lighthouse Restoration Fund!
Thanks to all our volunteers & boatmen, and thank you to everyone who took a lighthouse tour.
