Our goals are to learn about lighthouses their purposes, architecture, history, stories of their keepers through art, to take a Lighthouse boat tour to see lights up close and to develop a student book of participant’s works to remember the experience. The child and her/his mentor will be learning about Lighthouses together and developing lifelong bonds using Lighthouses as a catalyst for creating lasting memories! As there are over 15,000 Lighthouses in the world, we are hoping a mutual interest will develop between a child and his/her mentor:
- to see and climb lights together
- to possibly inspire a maritime career in a child
- to learn together through art to work together using STEAM…

Living One’s Dream…To Cross the Ocean
From her earliest memories, Captain Violeta Ivanova dreamt of ocean crossings.
Someone once told Violeta “you have the sea in your heart and bluewater in your veins,” and he was right! She first saw the Atlantic Ocean as a graduate student in Boston in the 1990s. Over the years, Violeta sailed on rivers and lakes, in bays and harbors, along the New England coast, and among islands in the Caribbean. Finally, in 2017 her dream to sail across an ocean came true, when she sailed from the British Virgin Islands via Bermuda to the Azores, Portugal. From joining the crew in St Martin, through the quirks of sharing 40 feet of boat with three men, to standing solo watches in Force 7 (15 foot) seas hundreds of miles away from land, until her night arrival in Horta Marina on the island of Faial, she will recount the story of her first ocean crossing. It is also a story of following one’s dreams. Tickets are $10 for guests and $5 for Museum members.
