Stratford Shoal Light
Stratford Shoal Light, Lighthouse in Long Island Sound, Connecticut.
The Stratford Shoal Light features an octagonal granite tower, standing 35 feet tall with a white exterior and red band marking its position.
Congress allocated funds for the construction of the lighthouse in 1877 to replace a lightship that frequently drifted from its designated location.
The lighthouse structure stands as one of the first prefabricated cast iron towers built in the United States during maritime development.
The automated lighthouse continues to guide vessels through Long Island Sound, marking dangerous reefs between Port Jefferson and Bridgeport.
The structure sits on an artificial island created from two natural formations, maintaining its position despite strong water currents.
