New Haven Lighthouse, New Haven Connecticut

In operation for 73 years, light beams from the lighthouse at Lighthouse Point extended a welcome to ships and sailors returning from voyages from the four corners of the world.

Today the beacon from the New Haven Light House at Lighthouse Point is dark, but the tower remains, greeting ships from around the world to New Haven.

The New Haven Lighthouse at Lighthouse Point in New Haven is located at the Eastern point of New Haven Harbor. Old Maps show it as Five Mile Point called that because that is the distance between it and the center of New Haven. It was also called Morris Point during the Colonial period.
