You’re invited to a special presentation by Angela Reich from the Fire Island Lighthouse who will be our guest speaker at the Maple Lane Campus on Thursday, Mar. 27, 2025 at 1:00 PM. Her lecture is titled: “Storms, Shipwrecks, Lifesavers & Lightkeepers: The History of the Fire Island Lighthouse.”

Angela Reich is a Fire Island Lighthouse docent and author of Shipwreck of Hopes—a novel inspired by the 1850 wreck of the ship Elizabeth. This historical event played a pivotal role in shaping the early Life Saving Service who patrolled our shores and safeguarded maritime traffic along the nation’s busiest shipping lanes.

Presented by Southold Historical Museum, the docents at the Nautical Museum at Horton Point Lighthouse, and Fire Island Lighthouse. A book sale will follow the presentation, $20 cash only, with 20% of the proceeds generously donated to Southold Historical Museum.
