Upcoming:
Hull Harbor Illumination Saturday, July 27, 2013, 4pm - 9pm Remembering, Honoring, Celebrating Purchase a Flare It happens only one night a year... The magical, mysteriously meaningful Harbor Illumination. The celebration begins at the museum at 4 pm in the afternoon, with tours of our new exhibit, Windward in Fine Style, Hull Yachting 1880 - 1920 and Breeches Buoy Reenactments. At 6 pm in the evening, we gather at Hull Cemetery, accompanied by the Point Allerton Coast Guard Color Guard, to honor Joshua James, and place flags at all graves of the Mass Humane Society, US Life-Saving Service, and USCG personnel. At 7 pm, flare-lighters begin to array themselves around the lovely crescent of Hull Bay, from the Spinnaker Island Bridge to A Street. And, at sunset, the magic begins - darkness broken by pinpoints of light, silence filled with the reedy evocative tones of the bagpipe. The flares help us Honor, Celebrate, and Remember. Some people's flares honor a beloved parent, others a place of great meaning, and some just shout Yes! to the night, a silent salute to this moment of collective beauty we all create together. Flares cost $10 each. They can be purchased at the museum or online. Volunteers are needed for all aspects of the event.  Harbor Illumination Schedule: 4 PM - Tours and Breeches Buoy Reenactments 6 pm - Hull Cemetery Commemoration 7 pm - Flares distributed to lighting Captains 8:45 pm - ILLUMINATION! Food carts, offering snacks and meals, will be at HLM all afternoon and evening. Come, make an evening of it: Celebrate Hull, Celebrate Summer, Celebrate Being Alive!

He'll be back in the air, heading for Boston Light, by 1:45, so please come help us celebrate this happy moment when Santa's back in Hull. Bring your own camera for photo ops with Santa!
Gingerbread Lighthouse Contest Saturday, December 15 Here's a chance to get creative this holiday season. Build a gingerbread lighthouse or lifesaving station to enter in our contest. All entries will be displayed and fun prizes will be awarded on December 8th, when the museum will also be visited by "Flying Santa." We hope the main ingredient in these lighthouses will be fun! There are just a few rules: All elements of the lighthouse or lifesaving station must be edible. (It's o.k. to use some cardboard or a box for support inside). Builders will provide all of their own materials, and will bring the entry to the museum completed. Each gingerbread lighthouse/lifesaving station must be built on a sturdy base (foam core, plastic, etc.) no larger than 20" x 20". A plate or platter works fine. All entries must be delivered to the museum by 10 am on Saturday, December 8th. Entries will be accepted 9 am - 2 pm, December 3-7, and between 9 am and 10 am on December 8th. A registration form and entry fee of $5 must accompany each entry. Prizes will be awarded in the following categories: age 10 and under, age 10-18, and 18 and over, and Famliy Project as well as Judge's Choice. Entries will be displayed until 2 pm on December 8th. All entries must be picked up by 5 pm on Wednesday, December 12. For more information, please contact victoria@hulllifesavingmuseum.org
