East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation
Recently, East End Lighthouses joined ranks with EESM to form a stronger organization. We are delighted to welcome them to our maritime endeavors. EESM fosters and promotes the nautical legacy of Eastern Long Island. It supports the welcoming beacon of Long Beach Lighthouse (“Bug Light”), the clanging anvil of our Blacksmith Shop and allows for the Museum to present exhibits and cultural events to our members and communities that are a focus of maritime pride.
The 2012 season promises to be outstanding with many new and continuing activities:
- Our Blacksmith Shop in Greenport allows kids to try their hands at forging metal, experiencing a skill from days gone by;
- Lighthouse Cruises … see our website for details;
- New Exhibits … highlighting a donation of hand built 17th & 18th century American and British sailing vessels and 19th century photographs of Greenport;
- A wonderful array of programming for our littlest salts;
- Excursions and tours inside of Bug Lighthouse
- Renovations to Bug Light and pier repairs;
- An Intern Program for college students to experience our maritime heritage.
- An invigorated Seaport Festival with additional nautical attractions!
The Village of Greenport, as a host port, will welcome up to six tall ships, beginning the Friday (May 25th) of the Memorial Day weekend. The Village will, at that time, host a three-day long waterside maritime festival to highlight and showcase Greenport’s maritime culture and history. There will be activities and events centered around this rich history; with demonstrations, crafts and educational exhibits and, of course, walking access to our beautiful downtown shops, restaurants and commercial facilities in a festival-like atmosphere.
Support such as yours ensures our future success. EESM membership does make a difference! We invite you to be part of our museum family. Any time or efforts that you could devote to our museum and programs…..would make for smooth sailing and would be greatly appreciated!
As an IRS 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, your membership contribution to East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Thank you once again for your past support and we look forward to sharing our seafaring future with you as loyal members!
Keep our beacon burning bright!
