Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse Tours

The US Army Corps of Engineers is continuing its study of the breakwater on which Harbor of Refuge Light stands. We received their Major Maintenance Report (MMR), which recommends ways to repair the breakwater, but they have requested that no public tours be conducted until further notice.

Please read this article in the
Cape Gazette regarding Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse tours.

The cover of the April issue of the Delaware Beach Life magazine features the Harbor of Refuge lighthouse sitting on an eroding breakwater off Lewes. Photograph by our member and past persident Red Moulinier. An article on page 24 magazine explains how our lighthouse is in jeopardy. There are pictures of the lighthouse, and the missing foundation stones, and a diagram of what's happening below the water. At the end of the article is a video. You can view the video here.
