Follow on Google News | Enjoy Sunset on the Water with the Norwalk Seaport AssociationTake A Sunset Cruise in Long Island Sound off the Coast of Norwalk
The Seaport's popular Sunset Cruise slowly cruises through outer Norwalk Harbor as the Captain's Mate tells stories of merchants and sailors that have used this waterway for centuries. Learn how Native Americans introduced oysters to English settlers and how captains of industry used this area to develop trade routes that went as far as the West Indies. The narrative gives a new understanding of Norwalk historically, and also reflects the importance of this scenic harbor today. As the vessel travels into Long Island Sound it will give passengers a close-up view of several of Norwalk's islands and the beautiful homes built on them. The cruise also passes three historic lighthouses, Peck Ledge, Green Ledge, and, the maritime icon of Connecticut, Sheffield Island Lighthouse. Architecturally stunning the Sheffield Island Lighthouse is a perfect example of Victorian stone masonry. Green Ledge and Peck Ledge are fine examples of sparkplug lighthouses, of which only 33 remain in the United States. The view of these three lighthouses up close as the sun begins to set is magical. Guests will travel in safety and comfort onboard the vessel owned by the Seaport Association that makes social distancing a breeze. Passengers can eat, drink, and be merry on the sunset cruise because alcoholic beverages and snacks are allowed, just don't forget to bring plastic cups and openers!
