Abstract
Description
The Sea Girt Light is a lighthouse marking the inlet leading to the Wreck Pond in Sea Girt in Monmouth County.
In 1921 Sea Girt Light was equipped with a radio beacon, 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.
This lighthouse played an important role in saving the survivors of the Luxury Liner Morro Castle fire off the Jersey Coast. It was the beacon from this lighthouse that led them to safety.
