Marblehead, MA
Established 1835, tower built 1896
105 feet, light is 130 feet above the water.
Some have called this brown iron skeletal tower an ugly duckling among the graceful
white lighthouses of our coast. But to many lighthouse fans, Marblehead Light
is unique in our region and thus possesses its own charm.

What if the federal government decided to build a lighthouse in your front yard?

 Rockland, ME
Built in 1902; automated in 1965

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.

Before the construction of the Cape Cod Canal in 1914, every vessel traveling

 York, 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.

Though deeply endangered, White Light shines on at the nine rocky Isles of Shoals

it depends now on the fundraising abilities of local kids.

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.
