The Great Beds Light sits in the Raritan Bay in South Amboy, New Jersey. Over the years the lighthouse has become the symbol for the city of South Amboy.
History
Built in 1880, the 60 foot (18 m) tall Great Beds Lighthouse sits atop a caisson. It is constructed of white steel plates. The lighthouse is located about 3/4 mile (1.2 km) off Staten Island, New York. In the late 1800s there was a dispute between New York and New Jersey regarding to whom the lighthouse belonged. Eventually New York gave up the fight for the lighthouse. Today the lighthouse is the official symbol for the small city of South Amboy.
