New Tour, 2015!
RI Lighthouse Cruise
September 13, 2015
Lighthouses are an essential part of our American culture, reminding us that our nation was built on maritime commerce. They stand as symbols of altruism, strength, hope, faith and guidance. And today, in the age of automation, they also stand as memorials to
The lighthouse keepers and their families who once devoted themselves to “keeping a good light” in service to mariners.
Traditional lighthouse keeping has passed into history with automation, but there are
Still those who recall lighthouse life with nostalgia.
On July 13, 2013, the Postal Service held five simultaneous ceremonies in five different
States for the issuance of five New England Coastal Lighthouse Forever Stamps. In addition to the Boston Harbor Lighthouse in Massachusetts, the other featured lighthouses
Include Portland Head in Maine, Portsmouth Harbor in New Hampshire, Point Judith
In Rhode Island and New London Harbor in Connecticut.
