The Lightship Overfalls in Lewes, DE is a historic landmark and museum dedicated to preserving and honoring the maritime history of the United States. Built in 1938, the LV-118 was decommissioned in 1972 and has since been restored and operated by a team of dedicated volunteers. Visitors can take guided tours of the ship, learn about the role of lightships in American history, and explore the Delaware Maritime Hall of Fame.
The Overfalls Foundation, which oversees the preservation and operation of the Lightship Overfalls, also offers a Ship Store and American Lightship Museum where visitors can purchase ship-related items and learn more about the history of lightships. The foundation hosts special events and activities for the community and welcomes support through donations, memberships, and volunteer opportunities.
