Southwest Ledge Light is an active lighthouse in New Haven on the reef at main entrance to New Haven Harbor. It was one of the first to be built on a cylindrical iron foundation, an innovation by Maj. George H. Elliot to address shifting ice that is regarded to be very important in lighthouse design.
-from Wikipedia

The light is located at the end of the breakwater into the harbor but is only accessible by boat.
