Castle Hill Light Print E-mail

Caste Hill Light
Newport, RI
Built 1890
34 feet high, 40 feet above the water.

What if the federal government decided to build a lighthouse in your front yard? A 19th century scholar used his clout to keep the noisy fog bell quiet, but this unique light was built and still survives on the Rhode Island coast.

Rockland Breakwater LightRockland, ME
Built in 1902; automated in 1965
Tower is 25 feet; light is 39 feet above sealevel

This unique building in Midcoast Maine is well along the comeback trail thanks to local concerned citizens. Almost a mile out at the end of a granite breakwater, it’s well worth the hike.

race point lightProvincetown, MA
Est. 1816, present tower built 1876

Before the construction of the Cape Cod Canal in 1914, every vessel traveling between Boston and points south had to negotiate the treacherous bars near Race Point at the northern tip of Cape Cod.

Written by Jeremy D'Entremont   

Cape Neddick or Nubble LighthouseYork, ME
Built in 1879, automated in 1987
41 feet tall and 88 feet above the ocean

The scene at Cape Neddick Lighthouse on the island called the "Nubble," near York Beach in Maine, is as pretty as a postcard. Its slightly offshore location lends an air of mystery, adding to its charm.

White Island Light Print E-mail

White Island Lighthouse
Established 1820, 58 feet
present tower built 1859.


Though deeply endangered, White Light shines on at the nine rocky Isles of Shoals just 10 miles out from Portsmouth Harbor in New Hampshire. Difficult to reach, it depends now on the fundraising abilities of local kids.

Jeremy's Lighthouse Guide #3

 

 
Whaleback Lighthouse Print E-mail

Whaleback LighthouseKittery, ME
Established 1831, 50 feet
Ppresent tower built 1872

Smack in the middle of the fast-flowing Piscataqua, Whaleback is isolated and a bit forlorn. But this little light proudly announces the gateway to Maine at the mouth of Portsmouth Harbor.

Jeremy's Lighthouse Guide #2

 

 
Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse Print E-mail

Portsmouth Harbor LighthouseNew Castle, NH
Built in 1877, 48 feet

New Hampshire's only mainland lighthouse has a long history and extraordinary scenery at the mouth of the Piscataqua. Visitors may now tour inside on special days.
