Cold Spring Harbor Light was a lighthouse located in Cold Spring Harbor on the North shore of Long Island. It was built in 1890 to mark a shoal at the entrance to Cold Spring Harbor. After the lighthouse was deactivated in 1965, the original light and tower were purchased by a private individual and moved to its current location on land, to the southwest. An automated light tower and day beacon were erected on the original caisson, and continue to serve as a navigation aid. ==Chronology== :1875, March 3: $20,000 was appropriated for the construction of the light. :1889 Construction of the light was started. :1890 The finished lighthouse was built on a caisson in Cold Spring Harbor. :1890, January 31: The light was first lit. :1919 An inspection of the light revealed $12,800 in damage was done to the light by ice. :1929 The light was refitted with an oil vapor lamp. :1965 The light was severely damaged after a collision with what local experts believed to be a disoriented humpback whale.
