SUMMARY:Storytime Hour: Reading of Kate's Light
DESCRIPTION:Readings at 11am and 12pm \nReading of Kate’s Light\, a story about Kate Walker at Robbin’s Reef Lighthouse by Elizabeth Spires (Author)\, Emily Arnold McCully (Illustrator). \nLiving in the isolated Robbins Reef Lighthouse\, overlooking turn-of-the-century New York Harbor\, Kate Walker spent her life minding the light\, keeping passing ships from running aground on the dangerous shoals. Originally the assistant to her lighthouse keeper husband John Walker\, after his death Kate convinced the Lighthouse Board that she was able to manage the hard work on her own. \nFor more than three decades\, Kate lived a solitary life\, often totally isolated from the mainland by rough seas and dangerous storms. Tending to the lamps and ringing the heavy warning bell\, she helped ships avert disaster– and saved many sailors from the cold\, choppy waters when disaster struck. \nElizabeth Spires describes the joys and hardships of a life at sea\, detailing pivotal moments in Walker’s life to show her indomitable spirit\, and celebrates the determination that drove Kate to keep her home and her livelihood. Paired with Emily Arnold McCully’s atmospheric\, vivid watercolor-and-ink illustrations of lonely lighthouses\, sun-dappled afternoons\, and wrathful storms\, this gripping picture book brings turn of the century New York to life. \nBooks will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Lighthouse Weekend Signature Tour!
DESCRIPTION:Popularly regarded as NLM’s “Signature Tour” this exciting boat tour\, familiarizes passengers with key lighthouses that facilitate safe passage from the Atlantic Ocean into Lower New York Harbor. The series will be narrated by Wade R. Goria. Wade is a National Lighthouse Museum historian\, author\, and former New York University professor. \nWe explore a total of nine lighthouses: Battery Weed Light located atop Fort Wadsworth\, the Coney Island Lighthouse\, West Bank and Romer Shoals Lighthouses\, the Sandy Hook Light\, The Twin Lighthouses of Navesink at Atlantic Highlands\, the Staten Island Rear Range at Richmond Hill\, the New Dorp Light\, and the Elm Tree Beacon at Miller Field\, also located in New Dorp. \nAfter sailing past historic Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton at the Narrows\, we head under the Verrazano Bridge passing the former Quarantine stations of Hoffman and Swineburn Islands. \nEnroute to the Sandy Hook Light\, situated near the tip of an eight mile spit at Fort Hancock\, a coastal defense base that once guarded the approach of NY Harbor\, we learn about the role that this proud and historic beacon has played on behalf of NYC’s maritime trade and its commerce over the centuries. \nCruising on the Ambrose Channel\, Sandy Hook Bay and the Shrewsberry River we journey along the Atlantic Highlands past the towns of Keyport and Leonardo\, home to Naval Weapons Station Earle and the world’s longest pier as well as Mount Mitchill\, the highest point on the Atlantic coast from Maine to the Yucatan in Mexico. The Atlantic Highlands is home to one of the most spectaular lighthouses in America: the Navesink Twin Light Station\, the very first structure in America witnessed by immigrants following an Atlantic crossing. \nUpon our return along the Ambrose Channel into Lower New York Bay\, we head near to the Coney Island Lighthouse at Norton’s Point in Seagate\, Coney Island\, where famed Keeper Frank Schubert\, NYC’s last Light Keeper\, resided for 40 years. We are also treated to a memorable image: the bright and powerful lens emanating from Staten Island’s Rear Range Light\, located atop Richmond Hill. \nTickets are non-refundable. \nLighthouse Boat Tours commence rain or shine. \nThe boat leaves from the NYC Ferry-Fast Ferry Dock. The boat does not leave from the National Lighthouse Museum. 1 Bay Street is a large general area which includes the St. George Ferry Terminal and the Empire Outlets. The outdoor NYC Ferry-Fast Ferry Dock does not have its own address. Please call the museum for further information if needed. \nGet your tickets today!
