The Marine Heritage Society-Propeller Club held its annual
Volunteer Appreciation Night on Wednesday at The Boathouse in
Southampton.
The event is held each year to recognize the many hours that
volunteers contribute to the Chantry Island Lighthouse project.
Several volunteers act as guides on the many tours that take
visitors to the Island aboard the boat 'the Peerless'. Others
maintain the inside of the lighthouse, the Keeper's Quarters and the
surrounding grounds.
Chantry Island Lighthouse restoration project, that began in 1997,
has been carried out entirely by a volunteer commitment of thousands
of hours, and has been self-sufficient based on the tours and the
Tour Base Gift Shop revenue.
