This is a lighthouse very often claimed to be in Connecticut, but all the evidence shows that it's officially a New York lighthouse...one of the many off the tip of Long Island. (See http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/forums/Forum15/HTML/000260.html for a map of Long Island Lighthouse locations.)
See the following for an aerial view of Latimer Reef Lighthouse. http://www.scroope.net/longislandlighthouses/latimerreef.htm
We got to see this one close up on our lighthouse cruise this past Saturday...So, stay tuned for more photos.
