The first Light was built in 1850, that was deactivated in 1854 and replaced in 1870 with the present Light. Prospect Harbor is located east of Mount Desert Island, and just east of the Schoodic Point part of Acadia National Park. The original granite house was replaced by the current wooden house seen above. The land is owned by the United States Navy, the tower and lantern are property of the Coast Guard. The house "Gull Cottage" serves as a guest house for the Navy. Prospect Harbor was also home the the last sardine packing plant in the United States, when this light was built there were 122 plants up and down the Maine coast.
