Is there anything more American than BBQ? The
Spanish conquistadores brought BBQ to the American South after enjoying it in
the Caribbean and on July 27 the Seaport Association is hosting an authentic
southern BBQ. Only 49 lucky guests will cruise to the island and enjoy a
down-home slow cooked southern bbq in the Association's new wood framed
pavilion. The boat departs the dock at 5:30 p.m. to and returns at 9 p.m. For

Like BBQ, the Lighthouse on Sheffield Island
has a long history and, this year, the Lighthouse will be 151 years old. Over
time, four distinct styles of bbq developed in the U.S. including Carolina,
Texas, Memphis, and Kansas City. Along the way, a few European spices were
mixed in, and the techniques modified here and there resulting in the four
basic types of BBQ found here today. No matter what style of bbq you favor,
this bbq cruise to Sheffield Island is still doing today what it did from day
one, which is bringing friends old and new together over great food.
The menu for the Sheffield Island BBQ includes all the classics - baby back ribs cooked low and slow, smoked pulled pork sliders, grilled wings - sweet and spicy, shrimp on the barbie plus classic salads, soft drinks, and dessert. Feel free to BYOB and don't forget your plastic cups! An added bonus of the Sheffield Island BBQ is that guests dine as the sun sets over Long Island Sound making for memorable photo opportunities.
This event does require advance
reservations so get your tickets early! The Seaport
Association dock is located on 4 North Water Street adjacent to the Maritime
Aquarium Imax Parking Lot. Parking is available at the adjacent Maritime Garage
