Black Rock Harbor Light, Historic lighthouse in Bridgeport, Connecticut
The Black Rock Harbor Light features a 41-foot octagonal stone tower with a balcony and lantern at the southeastern end of Fayerweather Island.
Built in 1808 as a wooden structure, the lighthouse was destroyed by a storm in 1821 and replaced with the current stone tower in 1823.
Catherine Moore, who served as keeper from 1871 to 1878, earned recognition for saving 21 people from drowning during her time at the lighthouse.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse grounds by following a mile-long breakwater path from Seaside Park, though the tower interior remains closed to the public.
The lighthouse now operates on solar power after its restoration in 2000, serving as a non-navigational beacon visible from the Connecticut shoreline.
