Nothing like a boat ride in the Dog Days of Summer.

Take a guided tour of historic Black Rock Harbor aboard the 40-foot Navy launch, Chief.

From the deck of Chief, the kids can view the beautifully restored Black Rock Lighthouse (built in 1823) and Penfield Lighthouse -- said to be haunted by the ghost of a former keeper! Passengers can also enjoy scenic views of the local yacht club and other historic sites.

Tours are given weekends from May through September. Weekday groups and school tours are available. Please call the Seaport Office at 203-335-1433 for more information.
