The cost is $130 for the day-long trip; museum members pay $120. Reservations for lunch are made at a local restaurant; meal costs are not included. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Call 410-326-2042 ext. 41 to reserve your spot.
On June 17 and August 19, participants enjoy the Southern route. Visit Point No Point, Point Lookout, and Smith Point Lighthouses before stopping for lunch on Smith Island. After taking in the local sites, the cruise will continue on to circle Solomons Lump and Hooper Island lighthouses.
On July 15 and September 23, lighthouse cruisers experience the Northern route. Departing from the Drum Point Lighthouse, the cruise includes Cove Point, Thomas Point, Sandy Point, Bloody Point, and Sharps Island lighthouses. Lunch is on Kent Island.
On the journey, cruisers will learn the history of the lighthouses they visit from the museum’s lighthouse expert, along with fascinating stories that make each light unique, from fires to ice floes to ravaging storms.
