Unlike the other lighthouse views on this board, this one is a technical drawing rather than a photograph or painting. It shows the front elevation of the tower alongside a vertical cross-section, so the viewer can see both the outside profile and the interior layout of the structure built on South West Ledge in Long Island Sound. Drawings like this, dated 1894, were used by engineers and builders to plan construction and maintenance, and they reveal how a light station was designed to stand against wind, waves, and ice on an exposed rock.
