The St. Augustine Lighthouse is dedicated to discovering, preserving, presenting and keeping alive the story of nation's oldest port. We do this in many ways:

• Educational opportunities
• Local and national preservation efforts
• Maritime archaeological research
• Safeguarding the memories and precious belongings of those that came before us.

Through our research arm, we study, investigate, preserve and interpret the waters of St. Augustine and Northeast Florida. There are over 270 known shipwrecks off of the coast of St. Augustine and its surrounding waters. We are working to uncover these wrecks in order to strengthen our knowledge of the nation's oldest port. We work to preserve the artifacts brought up from these wrecks in order to tell their stories. These waters are submerged cultural resources for our country.

The St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum, a not-for-profit agency, hopes to increase the number of scholarships offered to St. Augustine's disadvantaged children.

"We are determined to raise enough money to be able to offer at least our goal of ten scholarships this year," Paul Wenglowsky, Director of Maritime Education, said. "It's important to offer these kids the opportunities that they may not be getting anywhere else.
