I love lighthouses! There are quite a few in New York Harbor and the surrounding waterways. And over the years that I’ve spent kayaking in the area, I’ve collected photos of many of them. See if you can identify the lighthouses in the following photos! All are within the borders of New York City or just beyond.
Correct answers will receive contributions toward the purchase of your very own lighthouse! Many lighthouses around the country are now available from the government at very reasonable terms. In New York Harbor itself, West Bank Light and Old Orchard Shoal Light are unfortunately already gone, sold for $195,000 and $95,000 respectively—it will be interesting to see what the purchasers do with them. But Romer Shoal Light and Great Beds Light may still be available…
