Whaleback Day
Date and Time
Saturday Sep 13, 2014
Description
Join Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses for our second annual Whaleback Day celebration on Saturday, September 13, 2014! You can enjoy a fun cruise near the lighthouse from Kittery Point, Maine, aboard the Sir William Pepperrell with Captain Neil Odams. We will have four cruises — at 10:30 a.m., 12:00 noon, 1:30 p.m., and 3:00 p.m. Each of the cruises will be about an hour long and will go very close to Portsmouth Harbor Light and Whaleback Light. Jeremy D’Entremont, historian for the American Lighthouse Foundation, will be aboard to tell passengers about some of the fascinating history of these two spectacular locations. Each cruise is limited to 13 passengers and the cost is $20 per person. The boat leaves from the dock behind the Cajun Lobster restaurant at 153 Pepperrell Road (Route 103) at Kittery Point.
In addition, Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse in New Castle, New Hampshire, will be open for a special Saturday open house on Whaleback Day, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Live music at the open house will be provided by the Southern New Hampshire Ukulele Group.
Why not make a day of it? See our local lighthouses by land and sea.
