Lightship Overfalls LV-118

"Tried to visit this boat on Friday and although all indications were that it was open, it was not. So we tried again on Saturday and not only was it open it was free. Very informative tour of a lighthouse boat."

"I am not usually a fan of guided tours, I typically like to just explore at my own pace. However, I was treated to a splendid tour by a retired Navy Vet who, despite saying he was pretty new, knew the lightship inside and out. His comparisons to his experience aboard ship he served on helped add perspective to his details about life on board a lightship. It was a pleasure to visit, and I highly recommend making a stop to Lightship Overfalls, should you find yourself in Lewes."

"While touring around Lewes, DE today, I came upon the Lightship Overfalls at Canalfront Park. The Lightship Overfalls was open for touring, however, I decided not to tour today as there were several people on the ship. I walked around Canalfront Park and read about the ship. The park has a nice children’s playground, canoe and kayak launch as well as plenty of boats anchored. Nice little quiet park on the canal."

"We went during the off season, so I wasn't expecting much but to our pleasant surprise the whole ship is lit up at night! Sure we didn't get the tour but I had never heard of a light ship and I had to see one and I certainly wasn't disappointed! She is a beauty still. Gorgeous at night! I wish that they were open so that we could at least donate some money for her up keeping. They also have what is advertised as "the world's largest bobber" next to the ship. It's a quick stop but definitely worth it. On your way through town you can also see all of the historic buildings it's a very nice little town."
