Little-Gull-Island Lighthouse

Little Gull Island Lighthouse stands on a small rocky island at the eastern entrance to Long Island Sound, where the sound meets Block Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Completed in 1868, the granite lighthouse was built to guide vessels through one of the busiest and most strategically important maritime passages in the Northeast. Surrounded by swift currents and open water, the lighthouse played a critical role in safeguarding commercial and naval traffic traveling between New York, New England, and the broader Atlantic coast. Today, it remains a prominent landmark at the gateway to Long Island Sound.

This vintage-inspired Little Gull Island Lighthouse print celebrates one of the Northeast's most important offshore beacons. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's rugged island setting, dramatic ocean surroundings, and enduring maritime character. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, coastal travelers, and collectors of American landmarks, this piece captures the isolation and significance of a beacon that has guided mariners for more than 150 years.
