New London Harbor, CT HL 352 2007 summer Release Edition size 2,500 In stock The New London Harbor Lighthouse is the oldest and tallest light in Connecticut! This historic Light serves as a reminder of New London’s stature as a whaling port third busiest, New Bedford and Nantucket were ranked first and second respectively. New Londoners were not always fond of their neighboring Lighthouse. In 1904 the first fog siren was installed while welcome to mariners, the constant “horrible groaning and shrieking” ruined many a night’s sleep. To resolve the problem in 1906 a DABOLL TRUMPET brought some relief. In 1911, with the lighting of the New London Ledge Light the New London Harbor fog signal was silenced for good. Known to the locals as the Pequot Avenue Lighthouse, the Keeper’s house is privately owned while the tower is maintained by the New London Maritime Society.
