DESCRIPTION:Bring your lawn chairs and join us for a riveting presentation titled "The Sinking of the Steamboat Lexington\," the first in our Lighthouse Lecture Series beginning at 2pm on July 8 on the grounds of Horton Point Lighthouse.\n\nAuthor Bill Bleyer will tell the harrowing story of a ship's journey from glory to tragedy. The Steamboat Lexington was one of the most prestigious steamships on the heavily trafficked Long Island Sound but\, in 1840\, a fire broke out on the ship igniting poorly placed bales of cotton which destroyed the ship in minutes.
