“Cleveland Lighthouses through Time” by Janice Patterson
Since 1830, a lighthouse has been necessary at Cleveland’s harbor. This presentation will describe the several government structures that have guided ships in and out through the decades, while relating some seldom-told stories of people who have kept (and are still keeping) the lights burning through the nights.
The Royal Order of the Ancient Mariner is a casual group of people interested in Great Lakes shipping – current and historic. This luncheon group is open to all who are interested. They meet the first Wednesday of every other month – starting in February. The current price is $17/person and includes a choice of four lunch options and basic drinks (tea, coffee, soda). We ask that you RSVP to Carrie Sowden if you are planning on attending – shipwreck@inlandseas.org
