Miah Maull Shoal Light

Miah Maull Shoal Light is a lighthouse in Cumberland County, New Jersey. New Jersey has 26 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 4 of them in Cumberland County.

It was built in 1913, in the early 20th century, making it the 17th oldest of the 19 in New Jersey with a recorded construction date; the tower stands about 45 feet tall (10th tallest of 13 measured in New Jersey); its light sits 59 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Oc W 4s, R sector (a white light that briefly goes dark every 4 seconds), with a range of about 15 nautical miles; it guards Delaware Bay.

Status check, 2026-11: This red cast-iron caisson tower was the last offshore lighthouse built in Delaware Bay and was automated in 1973–74. Some sources give 46 ft, which is a conversion of 14 m, and one listing wrongly gives the 59 ft focal plane as the tower height. Miah Maull Shoal Light is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 39.1267° N, 75.2097° W.
