Ahoy there!  Join us for a two-hour narrated cruise on the Elizabeth River. We will see the 42 Fountains of Light illuminated in honor of Lafayette – replicating the welcome bonfires given to Lafayette in 1824. Lafayette and the first American Black spy, James Fayette, will join us on the cruise and survey changes to the coastline since 1824. Period attire is welcome but not required. Hors d’oeuvres with cash bar & soft drinks will be offered. Inside and outside seating is available. The three-masted gaff-rigged schooner is operated by Rover Marine, Inc., and is in immaculate condition. A former Commander of the 44-gun frigate Constitution will welcome guests onboard.

The date marks the exact bicentennial of Lafayette’s arrival in Norfolk. This ticketed event is limited to 100 guests. Period attire is welcome! Tickets ($55 per person) may be purchased via the following link: Schooner Tickets.
