We are ready for Maritime Day! The weather is beautiful, stop by and say hi!

Maritime Day is Saturday, May 16! We'll be there with a large selection of foundation merchandise available. Proceeds support our preservation activities at Harbor of Refuge Light. Hope to see you there!

We are saddened by the passing of our friend and Board of Directors member John Gordon. He enjoyed countless work trips to Harbor of Refuge Light over many years, and served as Treasurer since 2012. Memorial donations to the foundation may be sent to: DRBLHF, P.O. Box 708, Lewes DE 19958.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, John. You are missed.

John E. Gordon Jr., retired USAF major John E. Gordon Jr., Maj. (Ret.) USAF, died the morning Friday, April 24, 2026, and five precious grandchildren lost their dear PopPop. John died after a sudden painful battle with pancreatitis, which came on out of nowhere and left us all in shock...

Nine years ago today, on April 22, 2017, foundation volunteers made their first work trip to Harbor of Refugee Light in seven years! It was made possible by the recently completed new dock - something we worked hard to get for many years. Since then, we make regular maintenance and restoration trips every year, and recently posted photos on this page show the great progress we've made. All thanks to our dedicated volunteers and supporters. Thank you!

A few photos from that memorable trip.
