    New London Ledge Lighthouse

    New LondonUnited States1909

    Perched on a concrete pier at the mouth of the Thames River in Long Island Sound, New London Ledge Lighthouse is one of New England's most striking maritime landmarks. Built in 1909 in a distinctive French Second Empire architectural style, this three-story brick beacon was constructed to guide heavy shipping traffic into New London Harbor. Beyond its vital maritime history, Ledge Light is internationally famous as one of the most actively haunted lighthouses in the United States, renowned for its resident ghost, 'Ernie' — a former lightkeeper whose spirit continues to polish brass, secure doors, and play harmless pranks on visitors.
