Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse Fundraiser
A successful fundraiser for Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse was held on September 23, 2022. Almost 200
people boarded the Catherine Marie, a 200’ Watermark vessel. The fundraiser was conceived in late
spring 2022 to provide funding for additional preservation activities. Incredibly, the cruise was sold out
in just 4 days.
