Lighthouses of the United States: New Jersey
The U.S. state of
is on the Atlantic coast
south of New York. New York Harbor and the Hudson River estuary are
on the northeastern border of the state, while Delaware Bay and the
Delaware River estuary are on the southwestern border. Thus New Jersey
has the form of a peninsula with navigable waters on three sides.
Most of the ocean coastline is low and sandy, with barrier islands
broken by occasional inlets.
New Jersey is home to the oldest U.S. lighthouse (Sandy Hook)
and several other very historic light stations. Lighthouse preservation
is strong in the state. Nearly all the onshore towers have support
groups working actively for their restoration and maintenance, and
it would be hard to name another area of comparable size with so
many historic lighthouses as fully preserved as those of the New
Jersey shore. The
provides guidance and support at the state level.
Navigational aids in the United States are operated by the , but ownership (and sometimes operation) of historic lighthouses has been transferred to local authorities and preservation organizations in many cases. Lighthouses in the New York area are the responsibility of the Coast Guard , while those in the rest of the state fall under the .
ARLHS numbers are from the . Admiralty numbers are from volume J of the
Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. USCG light list numbers
for New York Harbor lighthouses, including Sandy Hook and Navesink, are
from Vol. I of the U.S. Coast Guard Light List. The remaining
USCG numbers are from Vol. II.

that the building would be demolished in late September. The outlook was
