About Prince's Bay Light
John Cardinal O'Connor Light is the official name of Prince's Bay Light, a lighthouse in the Pleasant Plains neighborhood of Staten Island, New York. It occupies the highest point along the island's southern shore, atop a bluff 85 feet (26 m) high above Raritan Bay. A brownstone cottage joined to the tower once housed the lightkeeper. The bluff is part of a southern terminal moraine left by the Wisconsin Glacier, whose retreat came 10,000 years ago.
Congress approved $30,000 for the tower, which was built in 1864, and the attached keeper's cottage followed in 1868. New York City designated both as landmarks on June 28, 2016. The light was shut down in August 1922, when acetylene lights in Raritan Bay made it obsolete. In 1926 the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin (a Catholic orphanage on Mt. Loretto, founded by Father John Christopher Drumgoole) bought the lighthouse, the cottage and one more outbuilding.
A rear range light arrived in 1953, southeast of the tower, on Mt. Loretto. In 1999 the Trust for Public Land and New York State acquired the lighthouse, the bluffs, 145 acres (59 ha) of upland, plus 49 acres (20 ha) underwater, from the Archdiocese of New York. A VRB-25 optical system was fitted to the tower in 2006.
