Ludlam's Beach Light, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Sea Isle City, New Jersey
The lighthouse featured a two-story structure with a square light tower, flashing white signals every 15 seconds at an elevation of 36 feet.
Congress allocated 5,000 dollars in 1884 to construct the lighthouse, which began operations on November 3, 1885, under keeper Joshua H. Reeves.
The lighthouse served as a response to numerous shipwrecks near Townsend's Inlet, marking an unlit section of the New Jersey coastline for maritime safety.
After sustaining fire damage in 1923 and facing severe structural issues, the lighthouse was decommissioned in 1924 and replaced by a steel skeletal tower.
The foundations of the original lighthouse occasionally emerge from beneath the sand at 31st Street beach following major coastal storms.
