| Nice photo by Greg Hartford of Bear Island |
This Light is located on an eleven acre island that is another of the five islands that make up the Town of Cranberry Isles. Bear Island is the furthest out to sea, and has the first light in the entire area.
Built in 1838-39 and rebuilt a couple of time after due to storm damage, the light was dis-established in the 1980's and replace by a lighted buoy. The Light and quarters are now a private home.

This photo from 1880 gives us a look at the rock beneath the soil.
