Spice up your celebration of spring with an adventure by land and sea exploring the history and mystery of lighthouses in the Boothbay Harbor region on an exclusive tour with The Lady in The Red Cloak, hosted by MSAD 11 Adult Education.

A portion of the proceeds from the tour will go to benefit the restoration campaign at the historic Burnt Island lighthouse.

The tour departs Saturday, May 21 from Pier 8, Commercial Street, in Boothbay Harbor aboard the 47-foot vessel Novelty. The one-hour cruise through calm inshore waters will pause offshore near Ram Island Light, Cuckolds Lighthouse, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Monhegan Light and Seguin Island Light (some locations are weather permitting).

Stories will be told about these iconic beacons and about the lives of some of the lighthouse keepers and their families. Their daily routines, traditions and hardships, as well as the legends and haunts. The voyage finishes with a dramatic turn as the group makes landfall on historic Burnt Island to explore the area around the working lighthouse, built in 1821. The group will have exclusive access to the island as your qualified guide, Sally Lobkowicz, a.k.a. the mysterious Lady in the Red Cloak of Red Cloak Haunted History Tours.

The Lady will lead the group back in time, exploring the island and learning about the historically restored facilities, including the keeper's residence and the lighthouse.

Participants will return to shore with a new and very personal understanding of the lighthouses, and the people who manned them.
