In the middle of the water. With a lighthouse on the roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew London Ledge Light was completed in 1909, and its improbable shape has a very human explanation: the wealthy families whose houses lined the shore objected to a plain iron tower spoiling their view, so the government built them something that matched the neighborhood. French Second Empire, red brick, mansard roof, at the mouth of the Thames River. Keepers lived on it until it was automated in 1987, and generations of them passed down the story of Ernie, the keeper said to haunt it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery lighthouse is a compromise between what the sea requires and what people can build. This one is a compromise between what the sea requires and what the neighbors would tolerate - which makes it both the most absurd light on the coast and the most revealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the warm brick and the cold water hold against each other and the wreath catches tree light.
