New London Harbor Light is a lighthouse in Connecticut, United States, on the west side of the New London harbor entrance. It is the nation's fifth oldest light station and the seventh oldest U.S. lighthouse; it is both the oldest and the tallest lighthouse in Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It is currently owned and maintained by the New London Maritime Society as part of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act program.〔http://www.theday.com/local/20150806/new-london-maritime-society-takes-over-as-new-london-ledge-light-owner〕 ==History== The original New London Harbor Lighthouse was built on the west side of the entrance to New London Harbor in 1760. It was removed when the current stone tower was built in 1801. In 1855 a fourth-order Fresnel lens replaced the original 11 lamps with reflectors. Illumination was converted to oil-vapor lamp in 1909 and acetylene in 1912. The light was electrified in 1930. The present keeper's house was built in 1863.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for New London Harbor Light )〕
