Doubling Point Light

At sunset Doubling Point couldn't look better - click
   At a sharp double bend in the Kennebec River, Doubling Point is situated in Arrowsic Maine; a companion light to Squirrel Point Light.
   The Light has been located here since 1899, when the wooden structures were made, a boat house was added in 1901 and a Fresnel Lens was installed to replace the oil lanterns in 1905.
   The quarters are now in private hands, and the light along with Squirrel Point Light and the Range Lights are looked after by contractors.
