Ambrose Light Station

(Located at 40°27'00" N 73°48'00": call sign Station ALSN6) The light station which replaced the lightship of the same name in 1967. The original tower was struck by a tanker in 1996: it was demolished by the US Army Corps of Engineers later that year and replaced with a new tower.

Ambrose Light Station marks the spot where several main shipping lanes in Lower New York Bay converge: it is therefore an impostant navigational aid for ships in the Port of New York and New Jersey. Whales in the area also use it as a marker and reference point (and indeed the National Data Buoy Center] notes the presence of at least the right whales in the neighborhood). The dit-dah, dit-dah Morse horn call of the hooter on the Light Station's tower is a well-known note in those waters.

In company with S'reee, Template:Nita meets Hotshot near the Light, and is a witness to his acceptance of the Celebrant's Oath. (DW)
