Sandy Hook Lighthouse was designed and built in 1764 by Isaac Conro. The Lighthouse was lighted for the first time on June 11, 1764. The octagonal tower was the fifth lighthouse in the colonies and remains the oldest operating lighthouse in the United States. The lighthouse was occupied by British soldiers during the American Revolution, and was bombarded by cannons served by Patriot troops. It was also the sanctuary to local refugees who were sympathizers of the King. The lighthouse is located on the northern most end of Sandy Hook, New Jersey.

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see. ~Dorothea Lange
I am fast becoming a big lighthouse fan after seeing a few myself on a recent trip...they come in so many different shapes and sizes and seem to be all over the east coast...this one is a beauty and you've done a great job presenting it, in clarity, framing, and fascinating history...well done.:Pat.
