Mystic Seaport Lighthouse, Connecticut

Since the 1600’s the Connecticut coastline has been a center for shipbuilding and maritime enterprises. As the ‘Age of Sail’ began to fade in the 20th century, three visionaries from Mystic, Connecticut saw the need to preserve the history and traditions of America’s seafaring past. Together they worked to establish in 1929 what would become the nation’s largest maritime museum, Mystic Seaport, The Museum of America and the Sea. The 19 acre museum along the banks of the Mystic River features a recreated 19th-century seafaring village, tall ships, galleries and, what museum dedicated to a seafaring past would be complete without a lighthouse.

  • Although a different lighthouse was originally designed for the Museum, the plans used for the lighthouse built at Mystic, Connecticut are based on the 1901 wooden lighthouse built at Brant Point on Nantucket.
  • The replica lighthouse was built in 1966 at the southwest point of the museum complex alongside docks where old sailing vessels are anchored.
  • The museum has several Fresnel lenses on loan from the Coast Guard Aids To Navigation School.  The one shown in this picture is a flashing 4th Order lens which is on display at the Mystic Seaport Welcome Center.
  • The lantern of the Brant Point replica light houses a fixed 4th Order Fresnel lens 26 feet above sea level.  It does not serve as an official aid to navigation however.
  • A short walk from the lighthouse you can also visit the old New Shoreham Life Saving Station which was originally constructed in 1874.  It was in use at Old Harbor, Block Island until it was brought to Mystic Seaport in July 1968.
  • The interior of the lighthouse was closed to the public until 2008 when a multi-media exhibit entitled ‘Sentinels of the Sea: Lighthouses’ was installed.  The history of lighthouses in the U.S. is explained in videos with breath taking footage.  Mystic Seaport is truly a ‘must see’ experience for anyone interested in the country’s seafaring past.
