Thoughts of the New England shoreline often conjure up
visions of rocky outcrops, sandy beaches and grassy marshes.
Other classic images gracing our region's coastline and New
England's heritage are the lighthouses which once kept
sailors from navigating too close to shore. See these
beautiful areas and their famous lighthouses from the water
with Boston Harbor Cruises.
The Northern Lights tours are
narrated by lighthouse expert Doug Bingham of the American
Lighthouse Foundation, or by other members of the
foundation. The tour begins in Boston and passes by Long Island
Head Light and Deer Island Light, and then passes near
Boston Light, the oldest lighthouse station in America.
Heading north, the tour will pass by several sites including
Graves Light, Hospital Point Light, Marblehead Light, Fort
Pickering Light, Bakers Island Light, Eastern Point Light,
Ten Pound Island Light, Straitsmouth Island Light and more.
The Northern Lights tour culminates with a view of Thacher
Island, site of the only still operating twin lighthouses
left in the entire country.
