Many of NYC’s most fascinating and noteworthy historical sights are highlighted on this unforgettable journey up the East River and Long Island Sound. The series will be narrated by Wade R. Goria. Wade is a National Lighthouse Museum historian, author, and former New York University professor.

Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Long Island City, Roosevelt Island and its newly restored lighthouse, Hell Gate, the Hell Gate Bridge and RFK (Triborough Bridge), Wards and Randalls Island, Astoria, North and South Brothers Island, Rikers Island, the giant Vernon C. Bain Prison Ship.
LaGuardia Airport, the Whitestone and Throgs Neck Bridges, College Point, Fort Schuyler and SUNY Maritime College, the US Merchant Marine Academy, the Throgs Neck, Stepping Stones and Execution Rocks Lighthouses, Hart and City Islands, New Rochelle, Glen Island, David’s Island where Fort Slocum, once stood, and the legendary North shore “Gold Coast” with a stunning array of 1920’s mansions that today, comprise the Sands Point Preserve, immortalized by F. Scott Fitzgerald in the Great Gatsby. Near to the Sands Point Preserve stands the stalwart 1809 Sands Point Lighthouse, the third oldest lighthouse on Long Island.
All of this takes place UNDER the night’s FULL MOON with an illumination of 99.45%.
