Greens Ledge Light, Offshore lighthouse in Long Island Sound, United States.
The cast-iron lighthouse rises 90 feet above the water with a circular foundation pier and tapered tower near Norwalk and Darien.
Congress allocated 60,000 dollars in 1899 for the construction of Greens Ledge Light, which began operations with a temporary fifth-order lens in 1902.
The annual Arthur J Ladrigan Swim Race attracts participants who swim one mile from the lighthouse to Bayley Beach in Rowayton since 1935.
The Greens Ledge Light Preservation Society offers public tours in partnership with the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk and the Seaport Association.
In 1933, workers added 30,000 tons of rock from Radio City Music Hall construction to strengthen the foundation of the lighthouse.
