Description
In the fall of 2005, Newport Harbor Lighthouse reversed its traditional role for a week and actually invited mariners to approach the tower and disembark on its grounds. The station was serving as a staging platform for the annual Grey Goose International Sailing Federation Team Racing World Championship, which was hosted in Newport by the New York Yacht Club. This race has been described as “sailing’s equivalent of World Cup soccer.” The American Lighthouse Foundation extended its hospitable invitation to raise public awareness of historic lighthouses among a receptive audience of sailing enthusiasts.
