President's message
The Lightship Overfalls (LV118) is one of only 17 remaining lightships out of a total of 179 built from 1820 to 1952. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, it is one of seven lightships in this country still open to the public.

We’ve come a long way together and WE’VE MADE IT!
This site tells the story of the eleven year project to save and preserve one of America’s maritime treasures. It’s a story of tens of thousands of volunteer hours of dirty work bringing one of the few remaining lightships back from the brink of ruin and all of the behind the scenes tasks that made it a reality. It’s a story of community support that maintained the momentum when any rational person would have thrown in the towel. And, it’s how this infectious community support spread farther afield making raising the $1.2 million necessary to complete the project possible.
Please join us at our party on September 10th to celebrate and thank the thousands who helped accomplish our goal to save the Lightship Overfalls and make her long-term preservation possible.

Overfalls FEST!
Friday, September 10
You are cordially invited to attend the annual OverfallsFest, from 5 PM to at least 7 PM on Friday, September 10, 2010.
The theme this very special year is "We've Come a Long Way Together" and indeed we have. It's been 11 years since the start of the Lightship Overfalls restoration project and the results are clearly visible. While continued efforts are needed, it's time to celebrate success.
As usual, please bring an appetizer to share and, because this is a never-ending project, please consider bringing a donation.
Hope to see you there.
