| Fort Point Light is a pretty picture in this nelights.com photo - click |
Fort Point Light was established in 1836 to protect vessels on the west side of the Penobscot River; those ships going or coming from the Port of Bangor. This is the other lighthouse with a square tower that is round inside.
The Bell Tower is still intact, one of a very few remaining in New England, and it's now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bell ,which was replaced by a fog horn, hangs outside for people to see.
Fort Point itself is now a part of the Maine State Park System and the keepers are Terry and Jerilyn Cole (lucky folks).

A personal note: I have returned from 2 nights at Eastern Maine Medical Center, I was treated in that wonderful manner folks have come to expect. I was admitted for a series of heart test. I sometimes get lightheaded and my pulse spikes and blood pressure gets high. All of the tests, as in the past, show I have no heart defects, so the mystery continues.
As always you can browse
