Simply A Cruise (Part 2)

The lighthouse cruise continued up the coast of Gloucester towards Rockport and the twin lights on Thacher Island.

The history of the twin lights can be read on New England Lighthouses.



A sailboat dances in the water in front of Thacher Island.



The next lighthouse on the tour is Straitsmouth Island Lighthouse. Since the island is closed to the public, the best view of it can only be seen from th water.
