On the way out of the Merrimack River, we'll view the Newburyport Harbor Range Lights and Plum Island Light. On the short New Hampshire seacoast we'll pass close to White Island Light in the Isles of Shoals, as well as Portsmouth Harbor Light in New Castle. In southern Maine, we'll cruise near Whaleback Light, Boon Island Light (the tallest lighthouse in New England), and the scenic Cape Neddick "Nubble" Light in York.

The cruise will be narrated by Jeremy D'Entremont, historian for the American Lighthouse Foundation and author of several books, including his latest, "The Lighthouse Handbook: New England." Jeremy will have signed copies of his book available.
