Plum Island Light, Lighthouse in Long Island Sound, New York, US.
The granite lighthouse structure stands 55 feet tall at the western end of Plum Island, featuring a fourth-order Fresnel lens for maritime navigation.
The first lighthouse on this site began operations in 1827 using whale oil lamps before the current granite structure was built in 1869.
The East End Seaport Museum in Greenport displays the original Fresnel lens, preserving an important part of maritime navigation history.
Access to Plum Island Light remains restricted as the facility operates under Department of Homeland Security jurisdiction.
Fort Terry and the lighthouse maintained a close operational relationship after the military installation was established on Plum Island in 1897.
