More progress is happening on the Pirate Ship! As people start to see the reality of the ship being built, enthusiastic ideas for a name have been rolling in - from Carrabella II (after our first pirate ship), to Le Tigre (after a real local shipwreck) to the Forgotten Phoenix (rising from the ashes).
STAY TUNED FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEW SHIP'S NAME IN 2023!
This long-awaited Pirate Ship is the replacement to the Carrabella Pirate Ship that heartbreakingly burned down in 2015. A combination of funds received from generous individual and business donors, the insurance settlement, the Franklin County Tourist Development Council, and plays and fundraisers like the Crab Cake Cook-Off have raised $60,000 to replace the pirate ship. With the support of many local businesses donating their services and goods, the new Pirate Ship is well underway. The new Pirate Ship, like its predecessor, will have two uses for our community – provide recreational/playground equipment for children of all ages and act as a backdrop for plays and musical performances.

CARRABELLE LIGHTHOUSE ASSOCIATION
In 1999 the U.S. Coast Guard had plans to surplus the Crooked River Lighthouse and auction it off to the highest bidder. It was at this time that the Carrabelle Lighthouse Association, Inc. (CLA) was formed by a dedicated group of local citizens with the goal of preserving, restoring, and opening the lighthouse to the public. In August 2001 the CLA, in conjunction with the City of Carrabelle, was successful in having the Lighthouse deeded to the City through the Federal Lands to Parks program. Since that time the CLA and City officials have worked to obtain funding for the restoration of this historic treasure of Florida's "Forgotten Coast."
Today, the CLA's members are devoted to the worthy cause of restoring this small piece of maritime history. Through its efforts, the CLA has received funds from the Florida Lighthouse Association, the Florida Communities Trust, and the Florida Legislature. These funds have made possible the restoration of the lighthouse and improvements to the land surrounding the lighthouse. If you would like to help continue the work of maintaining the Crooked River Lighthouse, please join the CLA or make a tax deductible donation today. CLA, P.O. BOX 373 Carrabelle, FL 32322.
*The Carrabelle Lighthouse Association is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
