There is every variety of lighthouses within easy reach of New London harbor. New London Maritime Society owns three of them, and each summer provides a variety of lighthouse boat tours every Saturday & Sunday from mid-June through October. We use local captains and boats carrying just six passengers. Tours are given by local lighthouse & history lovers.
Take a memorable 55-minute ride to view the three picturesque lighthouses of New London Harbor: New London Harbor 'Pequot' Light a classic octagon, the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Long Island Sound; 1909 brick New London Ledge Light reputed home to Ernie the ghost; and Avery Point Light built in 1943 by the USCG, the newest lighthouse in Connecticut. The boat takes six passengers, only. Donations support lighthouse restoration: $40.00 Adults, $25.00 Kids age 6 to 12. Meet at the Custom House Maritime Museum 15 minutes before departure. Tours leave Saturday and Sunday, on the hour, from 11 AM through 1 PM, July through October.
In 2014, NLMS received the title 'Best Lighthouse Tour' from Yankee Magazine for our 55-minute tour of the three harbor lights. Also available is a 2 1/2-hour boat trip to visit Ledge Light, sunset and moonlight tours of the lighthouses. See the museum website for the complete tour schedule.
Note: - Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes with a closed heal or back strap to keep the shoes on the feet. Flip-flops are not allowed due to safety concerns.

New London Harbor 'Pequot' Light is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Long Island Sound. According to the US Coast Guard, from the lantern of Harbor Light, one can see more lighthouse than from any other spot on earth! The 1801 lighthouse was conveyed to the New London Maritime Society by the federal government in 2010. NLMS completed Phase I restoration of the lighthouse in 2014. Still an active aid to navigation, the lighthouse represented Connecticut on a 2013 US Postage stamp.
