The cast-iron caisson design was the era's answer to building in open water: prefabricate the tower, sink the base, let the ice slide off the flared skirt. Keepers lived inside the narrow tower. The 1938 hurricane put water over the whole structure and the light stayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnecticut locals call it the Outer Light, and it marks the moment the river stops being a river. Generations of families have measured summer by passing it - out in June, back in September - and it has been standing there, unimpressed, for every one of those passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the bold black line reads from across a room and the garland's green catches tree light. The faceted edge throws light from every angle. Arrives boxed - white or gold gift box, your choice at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the river family, the sailor, the one who has taken the same photo of it every summer.
