A Sea of Change

Even after a couple of weeks, it’s difficult to grasp. Receiving New London Harbor Light from the federal government, in October, 2010, was the end of a nine-year process. With Race Rock Light, the entire event, from site-visit to receipt of the key, took just over one year, start to finish.
So, you might ask, why would the New London Maritime Society want another lighthouse -- even one so legendary as Race RockLight? Let’s be clear: we don’t. But it is our mission to protect and preserve New London’s maritime heritage. And so we do -- even when it means taking a rather breath-taking leap of faith, like this.
We are committed to preserving our important heritage sites for future generations. Ultimately, a national maritime heritage part of the historic and natural sites of eastern Long Island Sound might be the outcome. There is no more thrilling or compelling story than that of this lighthouse. The only question here should be: How could we have let the opportunity pass?!
