Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse

Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse stands at the mouth of the Connecticut River in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, where one of New England's largest rivers meets Long Island Sound. Completed in 1886, the cast-iron lighthouse was built on a granite breakwater to guide vessels navigating the river entrance and surrounding coastal waters. Positioned at a strategic maritime crossroads, the lighthouse helped support commercial shipping, fishing, and passenger travel throughout the region. Today, it remains one of Connecticut's most recognizable offshore landmarks.

This vintage-inspired Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse print celebrates one of New England's most distinctive harbor beacons. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's elegant offshore setting, classic architecture, and expansive views across Long Island Sound. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, coastal travelers, and collectors of New England landmarks, this piece captures the enduring character of a beacon that has welcomed mariners to the Connecticut River for nearly 140 years.
