    Not bad for a walk and spend the day along with Norfolk

      Great park. Visit the lightship. One of the few remaining lightships in the world where there were once several hundred. This is officially Lightship 101 (WAL 524) in the US. Built in 1916, this 360-ton steel ship, 101 feet (30.8 m) long by 25 feet (7.6 m) beam, had several service stations before being decommissioned in 1964. Among them are Cape Charles, Virginia, the Overfalls station off Cape Henlopen, Delaware, and on Stonehorse Shoal off Nantucket, Massachusetts. The light was displayed from the top of the mast. Hull painted red, superstructure painted white.

        Open to the public again in 2023: The lightship museum is small because the lightship is small. Not many museum pieces but you can walk around most areas of the ship. If you are interested in maritime history this would be an interesting short visit. It's a nice stop if you're in the area and offers a glimpse of life aboard this small lightship.
