Pemaquid Point Lighthouse , Maine

2008.03.16
Over the years there have been numerous shipwrecks as a result of the dangerous rocks and surf at Pemaquid.




The keeper's house is now the Fisherman's Museum which is operated by the town of Bristol.

Pemaquid Point Light... is the delight of artists, photographers, and tourists. Pemaquid Point itself entrances both land and water visitors by the fascinating northwest-southeast varied veins of rock formation that look for all the world as if great giants had 'pulled taffy' while the rocks were in a molten condition.


-- Malcolm F. Willoughby, The Boothbay Register, 1962.

The light at Pemaquid was originally built during the presidency of John Quicy Adams, in 1827, at a cost of $2,800.

snappy Beautiful! I like lighthouses!
Why do so many people love lighthouses? That's what I'm always wondering.

CJLata Lighthouses save the lives of many, so I try to let my light shine bright to help others find their way.
