Lewes (Trinity Faith Education Building) | April 2, 2025-April 30, 2025

Wednesday: 9:00 AM-10:15 AM

This is a hybrid course. One section meets on site at the location listed; and one section meets online only.

The Coast Guard lightships were critical to ocean navigation for all ships at sea. This class covers the history and operations of that service. Lightships also served as early warning weather stations and aided in monitoring water quality. They were required to remain anchored, on their station, regardless of weather conditions, and five of them would be sunk during duty. Many period photographs are used in the class.
