Limited Edition
Save The Plum Island Lighthouse Embroidered Caps
Designed and authorized by former Plum Island Keeper Tony Tuliano

         

A great complement to the embroidered Chapter polo shirt, this low profile cap shows your support for this endangered lighthouse and the people who kept the light burning. Former Plum Island keeper Tony Tuliano originally designed this cap as a thank you to the Chapter  for working to save his former home. The positive response to it told us that we needed to make these available to the public. Now you can have one for a donation of $20 or more.
