    Our 2025 Annual Fundraiser Gala will support our continued efforts to preserve the Lightship Overfalls, a National Historic Landmark and Delaware’s only maritime museum!  Our 2025 fundraising theme, “Float The Boat”, will directly benefit the ship’s voyage over the winter of 2026 for scheduled maintenance as well as the numerous educational and fun activities we offer throughout the year. We appreciate your support!
