New London Harbor Light is the oldest and tallest lighthouse in Connecticut. The original New London Harbor Lighthouse was the fourth lighthouse ever built in the North America in 1760. At the time, New London was one of the busiest whaling ports in the American colonies and the colonial legislature of Connecticut decided that a permanent lighthouse was needed for New London’s harbor entrance. Unlike a lot of early lighthouses in New England, New London Harbor Light survived the American Revolution. The original lighthouse did end up developing a 10 foot long crack and was replaced by the current lighthouse in 1801.
