About this event

Join Wilmington Water Tours and Hunter Ingram, Historian from Burgwin-Wright House for a river cruise about a story set on Christmas Eve aboard the Steamer Wilmington and their encounter with two Revolutionary War ghosts on the Cape Fear. Enjoy snacks and refreshments for all ages from our full bar.

This is Wilmington’s only Christmas ghost story that takes place on the Cape Fear River. The story follows a Christmas Eve cruise that encounters a ghostly presence with ties to the Revolutionary War. The story was written by James Sprunt and published in 1988. This will be a unique and fun cruise!

Our 49 passenger motor catamaran is enclosed and heated for your comfort. This is a 90 minute cruise $40. Boarding 15 minutes prior.
