| This is one of the most unique lights located in Maine. It is at the end of a 0.8 mile-long stone jetty extending out over the water. The light was built in 1888. The breakwater construction began in 1881 and wasn't completed until 1889. Construction demanded that makeshift lights be moved and re-established at the unfinished end of the breakwater each time work was suspended. The light which stands now wasn't built until 1902, after the completion of the breakwater. In 1964 the light was fully automated and in 1990 further renovations were completed. This light stands 39 feet above water and the light has a range of 17 nautical miles. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
