Moving the Overfalls

Well, the time has finally come to move the Overfalls Lightship from Lewes, Delaware to Norfolk, Virginia to get her refurbishment. During the move, you will be able to track her location via GPS and something known in Amateur (Ham) Radio as APRS. APRS represents a few things, but in this case, we'll say that it means Automatic Position Reporting System. You'll also be able to view photos that will be periodically sent from the ship and her tug. They'll be posted as they come in. This little project will allow you, the public, to actually be a part of this historic trip. Check in often and make your comments. You can send email to: OverfallsMove@gmail.com .
