Romer Shoal Light
Romer Shoal Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in Lower New York Bay, on the north edge of the Swash Channel, about south of Ambrose Channel and north of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, in the entrance to New York Harbor. It is in New Jersey, very close to the border with New York.
The shoal was named for the pilot boat William J. Romer which sank there in 1863.
The light was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 as Romer Shoal Light Station.
The Light was heavily damaged during Hurricane Sandy. The non-profit that has taken over stewardship of the Light is working with FEMA and private donors to preserve this national landmark.
