Bridgeport Harbor Light, Metal and concrete lighthouse in Bridgeport Harbor, Fairfield County, Connecticut.
The lighthouse stands 57 feet tall with a square green dayboard and features a modern skeletal tower structure at the harbor entrance.
The original 1851 lighthouse underwent reconstruction in 1871, adding a dwelling and fourth-order Fresnel lens before its replacement in 1953.
Abraham A. McNeil served as both the builder and first keeper, establishing an improvised light for Bridgeport Harbor navigation in 1844.
The current automated lighthouse operates with solar power and maintains a green electric light visible to vessels entering the harbor.
In 1898, the lighthouse received 10-inch guns during the Spanish-American War as part of coastal defense preparations.
