Stamford Harbor Ledge Light
Stamford Harbor Ledge Light, Lighthouse near Stamford Harbor, United States.
The cylindrical cast iron tower rises 60 feet above Long Island Sound, featuring a double balcony and lantern with keeper quarters inside.
Built in 1882 following a Congressional appropriation of 30,000 dollars, the lighthouse operated continuously until deactivation in 1953.
Multiple lighthouse keepers and their families maintained this maritime beacon, enduring isolation while ensuring safe passage for vessels through Stamford Harbor.
The structure contains seven interior levels and connects to shore through a floating dock system for visitor access.
A 7.9-inch modern lens replaced the original fourth-order Fresnel lens, operating on solar power to guide maritime traffic.
