Come join us for Lewes Maritime Day and the annual opening of the Lightship Overfalls. Maritime Day commemorates the rich maritime history of Lewes. After a short ceremony, the Lightship Overfalls will open for the season. Take a free tour and learn the important role that lightships and their sailors played in keeping our waterways safe for commercial shipping and private boaters. Our tour guides not only show visitors around the ship, but they describe what life was like working and living on a Lightship. Visitors are also invited to view our Monomoy surf boat and tour our American Lightship Museum. There will be local vendors exhibiting their wares and sharing information about their programs.
