The Isles of Shoals Light (White Island Light) stands on White Island, in the Isles of Shoals, off Portsmouth, New Hampshire. White Island is one of several in this group that lie in Rye, New Hampshire. The northern group is part of Kittery, Maine. A light was first erected on White Island in 1821, this structure was built by Capt. W.B. Franklin in 1889. It was automated in 1987. Set on an impressive rock formation, the lighthouse is reached by a covered walkway from a very large dwelling with three chimneys, dormers and a covered porch entrance. At the right and lower than the dwelling are two other small buildings including a boathouse. see also LB2015.15.33
