With 2014 drawing to a close, here’s a fantastic opportunity to finish off the year by telling you about some amazing auction deals. This specific auction is being held online and is for the Peck Ledge Light located in Norwalk, Connecticut. Originally built back in 1906, this lighthouse stands at the northeast end of the Norwalk Islands which is located just 1.5 nautical miles from the Connecticut coastline. It measures 54 feet tall and stands in 7 feet of water and consists of a cast-iron sparkplug style with rests on a cast-iron cylindrical foundation. Structurally the tower is sound, however it is really old and does not have a dock facility.
