Whitehead Light

Nice enough! www.us-lighthouses.com

  Add this one to the list I talked about yesterday, Whitehead Light is another one in that area.  The Light sits on Whitehead Island, a granite base high above the water lever and 70 acres in size. Whitehead marks the southwestern entrance to the Muscle Ridge Channel of Penobscot Bay.  Owls Head Light is the northwestern marker.
  Built in 1804-1807 the 30 foot tower (lantern base) is block granite lined with brick.  The keepers house was located 60 to 70 feet from the tower. 
  The first keeper Ellis Dolph caused a scandal when he sold the spermaceti (whale) oil he ordered for the light, he would order extra and sell it, he was found out and fired.
  In 1933 the light was made electric, instead of oil, and the two steam boilers that powered the fog horns were replace by two internal combustion engines that ran an air compressor, there were two horns, one face the Muscle Ridge Channel and the other faced in the opposite direction.
  The Light became solar powered in 2001, the keepers house is long gone, but the other buildings remain.  The Island is owned by the Swan Family who run the Pine Island Camp on the 70 acres.
