The American Lighthouse Foundation and its local chapter – Friends of Rockland Harbor Lights, invite the public to join them Friday, June 24, 2016 for a lighthouse sunset cruise on Penobscot Bay, which will feature seven Midcoast guiding lights as the evening’s “star” attractions.
This fun-filled experience is a great opportunity for participants to enjoy close-up water views of Eagle Island, Goose Rocks, Browns Head, Curtis Island, Indian Island, Owls Head and Rockland Breakwater lighthouses, all the while learning some fascinating stories associated with these historic sentinels.
