New London Ledge Lighthouse Groton,
CT Art
print of New London Ledge Lighthouse from an original watercolor New London Ledge Lighthouse is located in Groton, CT on the Thames River, at the mouth of New London Harbor. It is currently owned and maintained by the New London Maritime Society. New London Ledge Lighthouse was built in 1909 and was originally called the Southwest Ledge Light; bit in 1910 the lighthouse was renamed to New London Ledge Lighthouse. The U.S. Coast Guard took it over in 1939 and the light was automated in 1987. The original forth order Fresnel lens was removed and was later put on display in the Custom House Maritime Museum. In 1990 the light was added to the National Register of Historic Places. New London Ledge is locally famous for the ghost of an early keeper, nicknamed "Ernie," who allegedly haunts the lighthouse.

William. B. MacGregor Jr. Watercolors the Junkyard Artist
William
B. MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA, the son and grandson of
Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters.
Many
of his family members were self-taught artists, woodcarvers,
automobile mechanics and veterans of foreign wars including his
father a WW1 US Army veteran. Bill is
a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and
Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now
retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in
industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates
“old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a
mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are
often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them.
He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to
create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical
charts.
In May,2018, and for one year, four
of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz
