About the event

Ben Gonzalez, a lighthouse volunteer, oyster farmer, and retired marketing executive, will share the stories he uncovered while doing research for the “Dead Man’s Cove” exhibit. Historically, the hidden boulders and the underwater sandbar were particularly troublesome and at times, perilous, for navigators on the Long Island Sound before Horton Point Lighthouse was operational. The stories of these shipwrecks are both fascinating and frightening.
