| Ledge Light is absolutely one of my favorite lighthouses. This beautiful lighthouse is located at the mouth of the Thames River in Connecticut between the towns of Groton and New London. As a child, I would travel to visit my grandmother once a year on Long Island and I was always so impressed when the ferry would travel by this house... located in the middle of the river! Many people have shared with me how important this lighthouse is to their own memories as well. I also remember traveling out to the lighthouse from Avery Point on the "Enviro-Lab" ship as a school trip from Norwich. This was during the time that the lighthouse was occupied by the Coast Guard. If I recall correctly there were about eight cadets stationed there at the time. I remember they had one room set up as a weight room... I imagine there were many hours to fill without television! |
