• The services of a wedding officiant, the former mayor of Beach Haven, New Jersey, Deborah C. Whitcraft

The "Tie the Knot on a Tall Ship" sweepstakes is sponsored by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, NJWedding.com, Schooner AJ Meerwald, Museum of NJ Maritime History, ReClam the Bay and New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism in honor of Classic Tall Ship Weekend taking place at the Centre Street Dock July 23-26.
