Portland Head Light, So. Portland, Maine. 802f
A view of the Portland Head lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The caption mistakenly refers to it being in South Portland. "The light station sits on a head of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keepers' house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park." -- Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portland_Head_Light&oldid=1091184172
