The Lightship Overfalls is one of the few remaining lightships in the United States and is a National Historic Landmark located in Lewes. Lightships were essentially floating lighthouses, used to guide ships through dangerous waters, and the Overfalls is beautifully restored to offer visitors a unique educational experience. Docked in Lewes’ Canalfront Park, the ship serves as a maritime museum where visitors can explore its interior and learn about its role in maritime navigation. The museum offers guided tours that provide insight into life aboard the lightship and its importance in maritime history. The Overfalls is a testament to Lewes’ long-standing connection to the sea.
