August 27th To Salem Mass Today

Left Moody Beach around 9 this morning with thoughts of doing Salem Mass.  Drove down in, got a free parking space right in front of the Salem Maritime Visitors center, which was closed, so I walked up to the main visitors center, about 5 minutes got stamps, but not the lighthouse stamps, then walked back and hit the other stamp location for their stamps, then drove to the new Essex NHA HQ building, and got their stamp, and then walked back over to the Main VC for Salem Maritime to get the 5 lighthouse stamps.  Thought I might take the trolley to see some things, but opted not to, since I was actually a bit tired.  Then made an unscheduled stop in East Boston to see the "other" Lightship Nantucket, that is kept here- but it wasn't open.  I'll try to get the stamp directly.


Here are the lights and stamps I got:

Marblehead light 

Baker Island Light 

Derby Wharf light- revisit

Fort Pickering Light 

Hospital Point Front and Rear lights 

Lightship Nantucket 

Also saw 1 new plate today:

Not sure what I might do tomorrow, since we are a day ahead of schedule, Saturday is a long 10 light lighthouse tour, plus LL Bean and DeLorme for maps.
