Visit inside the lighthouse! - 2nd Day Added DESCRIPTION:Visit Inside Race Rock Lighthouse\nFor the first time in three years\, the New London Maritime Society in partnership with the HLF Museum is offering a limited number of trips to visit inside Race Rock Lighthouse. but due to high demand\, these tours sold out quickly! Because of this\, we are happy to add an extra tour day so more people can experience this remarkable feat of 19th-century engineering! \nWHAT: There will be four more trips \nWHEN:  Saturday\, August 29 – 2nd DAY ADDED! \nWHERE: Departing from Silver Eel Cove on Fishers Island\, NY\, next to the Fishers Island Ferry dock. (Passengers coming from the mainland will take the Fishers Island Ferry and connect with the tour.) \nTIME: Trips depart on the hour at 10:00 AM\, 11:00 AM\, 12:00 noon\, and 1 PM. (For each departure we estimate you will return in 1 hour 45 minutes.) \n\nGet TicketsThe Race Rock Experience\nSpace is very limited. Each Race Rock trip is limited to six passengers. \nTo reach Race Rock Light Station\, we take a landing craft out to the lighthouse. \nOnce there\, you’ll have approximately 45 minutes to explore Race Rock Light before returning to Fishers Island. \nLanding at Race Rock requires some physical dexterity. You don’t have to be a Ninja\, but you will need to balance on the edge of the boat and climb directly up a ladder to reach the lighthouse platform. \nEveryone must sign a waiver of liability before boarding. \nAll passengers must wear a life jacket\, provided by us\, while in transit. \nAppropriate footwear is also required: deck shoes or sneakers only—no sandals or flip-flops. \nWeather & Safety\nTrips are weather-dependent. Wind conditions can change quickly\, and there is always the possibility of a last-minute cancellation. Our captain makes the final decision\, and your safety is our primary concern. \nPlease check your email before leaving for the dock for any last-minute changes or cancellations. If the tour is canceled because of weather\, we will notify you by email. \nIf you want to take a chance on a last-minute opening\, please call 203-444-2884. \nAbout Race Rock Light Station\nRace Rock Light Station is a remarkable feat of 19th-century engineering. The lighthouse consists of a two-and-one-half-story Gothic Revival-style granite masonry keeper’s dwelling with an integral three-and-one-half-story tower. The 67-foot-high tower has an octagonal cast-iron lantern and gallery surrounded by a wrought-iron railing. The station also contains six brick-lined rooms in the basement and dwelling. \nConstruction of Race Rock Light was an engineering feat directed over seven years by New London’s own Captain T. A. Scott. The lighthouse was first lit in 1878. For 139 years\, Race Rock’s red lantern and foghorn guided mariners through the roiling currents at the Race. \nIn 2013\, Race Rock Light Station was entrusted to the New London Maritime Society by the federal government through the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. \nRace Rock Light Station (1878)\, along with New London Harbor Light (established 1760; current tower 1801) and Ledge Light (1909) at the mouth of the Thames River\, forms a pathway of beacons leading from the Atlantic Ocean to the historic port of New London. All three lights are now owned by the New London Maritime Society. \nProceeds from these tours support the restoration and preservation of our local lighthouses. \nTour Prices\nAdults: $135 \nNLMS Members: $110 \nYour ticket also includes: \n\nFree admission to the Custom House Maritime Museum ($10 value)\n10% discount in the Museum Shop\n\nTickets are non-refundable unless there is a weather cancellation. All tours are weather-dependent\, so please check your email inbox before departing for the dock. \nImportant Information\nFood and drink\, except for water\, are not permitted on the boat. \nFor safety reasons\, no alcoholic beverages are permitted. \nAppropriate footwear is required: deck shoes or sneakers. No sandals or flip-flops. \nAll passengers must wear a life jacket while in transit. \nAll passengers must sign a waiver of liability before boarding. \nPlease check your email before the trip for weather updates and any last-minute changes or cancellations. \nPlease make your reservation immediately—space is limited! \nThank you for your support of our historic lighthouses.

How effective are these methods\, and what does the science actually support? Can fungi eat soiled plastic diapers? Can mushrooms “break down” the toxins released from our buried remains?\nJoin us and Lighthouse Works at the Museum for an Illustrated Talk by sculpture artist Sam Shoemaker\, a current LW Fellow\, whose work is a collaboration between himself and living fungi. Based on his extensive experience with mushrooms\, this lecture investigates the companies leading this emerging market\, examining what they promise and where enthusiasm for fungal sustainability runs up against the limits of biology. Along the way\, the lecture takes several anthropological detours through the history of our relationship to fungal decay. \nWHEN: Sunday\, September 13\, 2026\nTIME: 2:00 p.m.\nPLACE: In-person at the Museum\, 2nd floor and virtual via Zoom \nJoin Zoom WebinarArtist Bio: \nSam Shoemaker photo by Damien Maloney \nSam Shoemaker is a Los Angeles-based sculpture artist whose work is a collaboration between himself and living fungi.

Graham\, who will share insights from over 10 years of work studying the health of eelgrass in the Pacific Northwest. Learn why eelgrass meadows are essential coastal habitats\, how different stressors impact eelgrass health\, and what her team’s research reveals about the future of these ecosystems. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore underwater “rainforests” and discover what a decade of research can teach us about the health and resilience of our coastal ecosystems and how local communities can play a role in protecting and conserving eelgrass habitats. \nWhen: Sunday\, September 20\, 2026\nTime: 4-5 pm\nPlace: At the Museum\, 2nd floor and virtual\, via zoom \nPhoto courtesy of Olivia Graham \nDr. Olivia J. Graham is a Research Scientist at the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratories. She conducts field- and lab-based experiments on San Juan Island\, WA\, focusing on the health and resilience of eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows. Dr. Graham leverages diverse research approaches—including robust molecular tools\, drones\, artificial intelligence\, environmental DNA (eDNA)\, and many more—to understand drivers of eelgrass disease. Her work also bridges science and storytelling\, as she translates complex ecological processes into meaningful insights for coastal communities. \nPhoto courtesy of Becca Maher\, Friends of San Juan \nEelgrass meadow photo courtesy of Annie Crawley \nThis program is co-hosted by the Fishers Island Seagrass Management Coalition and the Henry L.

During the walk\, attendees will learn how the HFLM Land Trust approached this challenge\, which techniques proved effective\, and how to apply similar practices on their own properties. \nWe’ll explore native red maple and black cherry woodlands\, open grassland\, sandy beach\, and marsh habitat. Along the way\, we’ll identify invasive plants\, discuss strategies for controlling them\, and see how native plants provide essential food and shelter for Fishers Island’s wildlife. These restoration efforts have created healthier\, more diverse habitats that now support Black-capped Chickadees\, Yellow Warblers\, and the many birds that gather around the trail’s small coastal marsh. The trail also offers wonderful views of Fishers Island Sound and forms the northern link of an important island wildlife corridor. \nDate: Saturday\, October 10\, 2026\nTime: 1–2 PM\nMeeting place: Meet at the Museum at 12:30 PM. We will arrange carpooling to Chocomount Cove Trail for those who need it.\nLight refreshments and a Q&A will follow the walk. \nPlease wear long pants and long sleeves for protection from thorns and poison ivy. \nThis event is free\, but attendance is limited to ensure a high-quality learning experience.
