| Description: | Port Jefferson is a town at the southern end of the harbor. The principal industries of the port are the shipping of sand and gravel and the distribution of petroleum
products.
New Haven Harbor, an important harbor of refuge, is about 68 miles from New York, 179 miles from Boston via Cape Cod Canal, and 171 miles from Nantucket Shoals Lighted Whistle Buoy N (LNB). It comprises all the tidewater northward of the breakwaters
constructed across the mouth of the bay, including the navigable portions of the West, Mill, and Quinnipiac Rivers. It is about 2 miles wide. The inner harbor, northward of Sandy Point and Fort Hale, is shallow for the most part, except where the depths have been increased by dredging. The main entrance channel,
between Middle Breakwater and the East Breakwater,
leads northward to Tomlinson Bridge at New Haven. Anchorage basins for medium draft vessels are on the west side of the channel north of Sandy Point. Waterborne commerce in the harbor consists of petroleum
products, scrap metal, lumber, automobiles, gypsum, paper and pulp products, steel products, chemicals, rock salt, and general cargo.
Throgs Neck, on the northwest side of the entrance to East River, is marked by a light. Throgs Neck Light (40°48'16''N., 73°47'26''W.), 60 feet above the water, is shown from a skeleton tower with a black and white diamond-shaped daymark on the outer end of the neck. The shoal ground which extends 0.1 mile southward and eastward from the light is marked by a lighted bell buoy.
