Description
Stratford Shoal Light - Original Photography by Karol Livote
The Stratford Shoal Light is located at Stratford Shoal (also known as Middle Ground). This lighthouse is on a shoal in the middle of Long Island Sound approximately halfway between Port Jefferson, New York and Bridgeport, Connecticut. Sitting roughly mid-way between Connecticut and Long Island, the Middle Ground is an area approximately three miles in radius, surrounding a high spot that is exposed at low tide, and officially known as Stratford Shoal. The granite lighthouse stands 60 feet tall which makes it easy to locate from a distance.
Stratford Shoal Lighthouse has frequently been classified as a New York lighthouse, and the land (“less than one acre”) for the lighthouse was indeed ceded to the federal government by the State of New York on May 11, 1874. Official maps today, however, place the lighthouse on the Connecticut side of Long Island Sound by a good 1,000 feet.
The light is not open to the public. The best way to view it, is by boat. This image was captured while out one day cruising on the Sound.
