Pirates are invading Sheffield Island Lighthouse. Children will get a glimpse of pirate life when they take a round-trip ferry ride to the Norwalk Seaport Association's "Pirates Weekend," taking place on the island.
Once there, visitors will be greeted by pirate re-enactors who will entertain with gunfire and sword fighting demonstrations, sea chanteys, storytelling and other activities.
The Norwalk Seaport Association has owned, restored and maintained Sheffield Island Lighthouse since 1986 and is the official U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Friends group for the Norwalk Islands.
From May through September, visitors can board the Seaport Association's 45-foot C.J. Toth Catamaran for a harbor cruise ending with a one hour stop at Sheffield Island. Tour the Lighthouse, observe wildlife in their natural habitat in the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, hunt for shells along the beach, dine on a picnic lunch, play on the lawns around the Lighthouse, and simply have a good time. During this unforgettable adventure tour of Sheffield Island and Lighthouse, you'll step directly from the boat into the past.
Round trip time is approximately 3 hours. VISIT HERE for more information and/or to purchase tickets.
