| My vote for prettiest lighthouse |
This lighthouse was built in 1852 in eastern Penobscot Bay to protect shipping in the Eggemoggin Reach the passage between the Bay and Blue Hill Bay.
The lens was replace on at least two occasions when these lanes were busy with ships carrying lumber from Maine to other markets.
The lighthouse was de-activated in 1933, and the Coast Guard sold the property and the lighthouse to the Town of Deer Isle.
The lighthouse can be viewed from land by driving to near the end of Maine 15, turn right on Eggemoggin Road and continue to the end. It gets my vote for prettiest regardless of what people said about yesterday entry on this blog.
