Sea Girt Lighthouse - a photo on Flickriver

            "The Sea Girt Light is a decommissioned lighthouse marking the inlet leading to the Wreck Pond in Sea Girt, New Jersey, United States. It is located on a stretch of the New Jersey shore between the Barnegat and Navesink lighthouses. It hosted the first radio beacon mounted in a shore installation in the United States.

The New Jersey shore between the Barnegat and Navesink lighthouses, a distance of nearly 40 miles (64 km), was unlit in the 1800s. In 1888 the Lighthouse Board requested funds to establish a light in this area, with an amount of $20,000 being approved the following year (equivalent to $680,000 in 2023). The original site was to be at Manasquan Inlet, just to the south of Sea Girt; however, the site was found to be unsuitable and the present lot was obtained on the beach at Sea Girt, near Wreck Pond. An L-shaped brick house with an integral tower was constructed, and the light was first exhibited on December 10, 1896. This was the last shore lighthouse with an integral keeper's residence built on the east coast of the United States. Moving sand and erosion were problems from early on, but fencing in 1900 and steel pilings in the 1920s arrested the threat.

In 1921 Sea Girt Light was equipped with a radio beacon for use in fog, the first such installation on a shore-based light. It was installed in conjunction with transmitters on the Ambrose and Fire Island lightships; with a radio direction finder, a ship could fix its position accurately through triangulation from the three sites."
