The Sea Girt Lighthouse, located in Sea Girt, New Jersey, has been an iconic maritime beacon since it first illuminated the coast on December 10, 1896. As the last live-in lighthouse built on the Atlantic Coast, its rich history includes serving as a guide for mariners and a landmark for the surrounding area.
Over the years, the lighthouse has been home to a diverse array of keepers and has played a vital role in navigation, including the introduction of the first land-based radio beacon navigation system in 1921. Notably, during the tragic Morro Castle incident in 1934, the lighthouse provided critical guidance for rescue efforts that saved hundreds of lives.
