Oswego Lighthouse Boat Tour
Explore the Oswego West Pierhead Lighthouse, which still serves today as an active aid-to-navigation for Lake Ontario sailors.
During the summer months, the H. Lee White Maritime Museum offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a short 15 minute boat ride across Oswego’s scenic harbor on an open pontoon boat to explore the Oswego West Pierhead Lighthouse, which still serves today as an active aid-to-navigation for Lake Ontario sailors.
Chartered by a licensed coast guard captain, the pontoon boat provides a smooth ride while a knowledgeable tour guide points out fascinating nautical attractions and historical landmarks. Visitors to the Lighthouse should plan to spend about two hours total (including to and from transit time) for their experience and tour captains reserve the right to cancel or cut-short any trip due to weather or safety concerns.
Tours depart at the H. Lee White Maritime Museum, which houses one of the finest collections of Maritime Objects and Historical collections in the Great Lakes.
