Lost Lighthouses of New York Harbor

In this National Lighthouse Museum presentation, historian, librarian and sailor Andrew Wilson will take attendees on an armchair cruise around the harbor visiting the vanished lighthouses and aids to navigation that made the old port of New York the greatest in the world. Stops on the tour will include underwater bells, the original Robbins Reef Light, lightships at Governor’s Island and Sandy Hook, the lights of Newark Bay, the world’s largest gun at Romer Shoals, the Bergen Point Light by the Bayonne Bridge, the time balls atop Manhattan skyscrapers (they gave birth to the New Year’s Eve ball drop tradition at Times Square), the pirates of the Corner Stake Light in the Arthur Kill, and many more.

Tickets are $10 for guests and $5 for Museum members.
