Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse and Cape May Lewes Ferry
This film is hosted by Delaware Surfriders, Green Fire Productions, http://www.greenfireproductions.org with co hosts: Rehoboth Beach Film Society, http://www.rehobothfilm.com, Delaware Sea Grant, http://www.deseagrant.org, American Littoral Society, http://www.littoralsociety.org, and Delaware Chapter of Sierra Club.
In a region steeped in old maritime tradition, Ocean Frontiers II tells the story of a modern wave of big ships, energy industries and a changing climate, and how people are coming together to plan for a healthy ocean off their coast. After the film, plan to stay and join the interactive panel discussion about how we can protect wildlife, enhance recreational activities and manage commercial uses in our increasingly busy Delaware waters.
Delaware Breakwater East End Lighthouse
June 2013 was the day I walked in the steps of The Keeper. Visiting the Delaware Lighthouses was an experience and thank God I went when I did because the actual tours of the lighthouses have been discontinued for now. I wrote a post on my adventure that day on June 18, 2013. If you would like to see it (photos), please click on the date on the left hand side of the website; June of 2013 and scroll down to the 18th. The cancellation of these tours is due to lack of transportation funds which were provided in the past by the Delaware River & Bay Authority and the state of Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs.
Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse
The Harbor of Refuge has been closed for some time for repairs made necessary by severe storm damage. This lighthouse was built in 1896. Both of the lighthouses are off Cape Henlopen where the ocean meets the Delaware Bay, providing refuge to ships battered by storms.
The Delaware Breakwaters are engineer marvels of the 19th century. They were the first structures of their kind to be built in the Western Hemisphere.
The Delaware River & Bay Lighthouse Foundation – 2015 Lighthouse Sunset Cruises. It is that time of the year again. Sunsets are beautiful, more so if you are cruising the Delaware Lighthouses. Profits of the cruises will go towards the restoration and new docking station and other projects at Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse. For info., please visit http://www.delawarebaylights.org.

Saturday, June 13th from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m.
Saturday, July 25th from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.
Sunday, September 13th from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m.
