It is so hard to believe we are still enmeshed in this pandemic, struggling to survive against all odds. As New York enters Phase 4, Museums, along with other indoor facilities, remain in lock down mode. Ready to get the go ahead, under the “new norm rules”, we have also received many requests for our seasonal lighthouse boat tours, but unfortunately each one - most recently our famed Signature- Ambrose Channel Tour, scheduled for Lighthouse Weekend - August 9th., had to be cancelled. Notwithstanding, we are proud to announce that despite our Museum closure back in mid-March, we have accomplished some exciting on- line/ virtual public programs: Two Zoom lectures -“Lights, Camera, Action - tips on photographing a Lighthouse!” with special thanks to Todd Vorenkamp -“The Union Blockade during the American Civil War” - with a big thanks to our lecturer, Wade R.Goria, featured in a three-hour series, thanks to the generosity of cinematographer, Jon Roche, Oliver Anderson, 2nd Camera, and editor, Daniel Amigone Twelve” Lighthouse of the Week” virtual Tuesday presentations, with a special thanks to Kraig Anderson creator of lighthousefriends.com and coordinated by Jean Coombs.

  • The Heroic Destroyer and "Lucky" Ship O.R.P. "Blyskawica"
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 65, © 2003 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 The heroic destroyer and "lucky" ship O.R.P. "Blyskawica" A. Komorowski & A. Wojcik Naval University of Gdynia, Poland Abstract The destroyer O.R.P. "Blyskawica" is a precious national relic, the only remaining ship that was built before World War I1 (WW2). On the 5oth Anniversary of its service under the Polish flag, it was honoured with the highest military decoration - the Gold Cross of the Virtuti Militari Medal. It has been the only such case in the whole history of the Polish Navy. Its our national hero, war-veteran and very "lucky" warship. "Blyskawica" took part in almost every important operation in Europe throughout WW2. It sailed and covered the Baltic Sea, North Sea, all the area around Great Britain, the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. During the war "Blyskawica" covered a distance of 148 thousand miles, guarded 83 convoys, carried out 108 operational patrols, participated in sinking two warships, damaged three submarines and certainly shot down four war-planes and quite probably three more. It was seriously damaged three times as a result of operational action. The crew casualties aggregated to a total of only 5 killed and 48 wounded petty officers and seamen, so it was a very "lucky" ship during WW2. In July 1947 the ship came back to Gdynia in Poland and started training activities. Having undergone rearmament and had a general overhaul, it became an anti-aircraft defence ship. In 1976 it replaced O.R.P. "Burza" as a Museum-Ship.

  • Overlooked by Many Boaters, Mount Hope Bay Offers a Host of Attractive Spots in Which to Wile Away a Day—Or Week—On the Water
    DESTINATION MOUNT HOPE BAY The author’s boat, Friendship, at anchor in Church’s Cove. Overlooked by many boaters, Mount Hope Bay offers a host of attractive spots in which to wile away a day—or week—on the water. BY CAPTAIN DAVE BILL PHOTOGRAPHY BY CATE BROWN ount Hope Bay, shared by Massachusetts and Rhode Island, doesn’t get a lot of attention from boaters. But it should. The bay is flled with interesting places to dock, drop an anchor or explore in a small boat, so you could fll an entire week visiting a new spot every day. Every summer, I spend a signifcant amount of time on the bay aboard a 36- foot Union cutter, so I’ve gotten to know and love this body of water, which offers everything from interesting things to see and do to great dock-and-dine restaurants to scenic spots where one can drop the hook and take a dip. Here are some of my favorite places to visit, as well as some points of interest. The main gateway to Mount Hope Bay (which is named after a small hill on its western shore) is via the center span of the Mount Hope Bridge, with Hog Island Shoal to port and Musselbed Shoals to starboard. You can also enter, from the north, via the Taunton River, and from the south, via the Sakonnet River. Although the Army Corps of Engineers maintains a 35-foot-deep shipping channel through the bay up to Fall River, be mindful of navigational aids that mark obstructions such as Spar Island or Old Bay Rock.
