Ahoy, sailors, fishing buffs and history students. Be sure to drop anchor on the shore of the New York Experience pond every day of the new York State Fair for a new nautical exhibit from New York Sea Grant.
The family-friendly, interactive exhibit shines its beacon on New York State’s 70-plus lighthouses and light boats, with a special focus on women who serve as keepers of those vital structures.
Daily demonstrations on the pond will showcase boat building, water drones, lifesaving science, a data-gathering buoy, a lifesaving exhibit, boat building demonstrations and a name that boat contest. One lucky visitor will actually win a boat.
