By 1834, New London had over 30 ships and 900 men from New London were employed in whaling. By the middle of the 1800s, New London was America’s third leading whaling port, behind New Bedford and Nantucket. An early beacon of some kind was reportedly erected around 1750 at the harbor’s entrance, but it soon became apparent that a more permanent lighthouse was needed.
