Located at Fort William in Cape Elizabeth, ME, Portland Head overlooks Casco Bay, with Ram Island Ledge off in the distance. This is one of America's oldest lighthouses.

Cape Neddick, York, ME, Nubble is probably one of the most popular lights in New England, and maybe even the east coast

Owl's Head, Maine - a frequently visited light tower, with a walkway up to the light. Maintained by the United States Coast Guard.

Reaching up the coast of Maine, White Island is secluded, and is well placed to save mariners

Boon Island is about 9 miles off the coast from Cape Neddick. You can see it, when the weather permits, and its white light, from Cape Neddick. There are cruises that go by the island, and maybe even a visit - check with American Lighthouse Foundation for more information.

Port Clyde, Maine is home to this attractive light. It has the same style as a couple others in Maine, including Ram Island.

Off of Penobscot Bay, Tenants is one of the many in that area.

On Thacher Island off the coast - Rockport/Gloucester, MA - these are very old lights. When you sail out of Gloucester, you will see these lights to the north.

At the head of the Annisquam River at Wigwam Point, Annisquam's keeper's quarters are occupied by a Coast Guard family.

This is the light that sits at the very outer edge of Gloucester Harbor - those familiar with "The Perfect Storm" will remember the reference to waving to the keeper's son as the boats sailed past the lighthouse at Eastern Point. The waves that you see crashing against the seawall were quite potent - the timing to get on and back off the seawall was critical - otherwise body and camera gear could easily be washed off into Gloucester Harbor.

On Little Brewster Island in Boston Harbor, this was, at last notice, the last manned lighthouse in the U. S. It still has one of the few remaining fresnel lenses in its lanternhouse.

This is one of the three towers that were originally Nauset Beach Lights. They used to sit along the edge of the cliff - an edge that has receded so dramatically, it "isn't there" anymore. Even the existing Nauset Beach Tower has been moved back to prevent it from dropping off onto the beach below.

There is a little park on the entry road to Nauset Beach where these three lights now sit.

Nantucket Island has some of the prettiest land - and Sankaty Head light sits perched on the edge of another eroding piece of land. It does have a wonderful view of the ocean, but the fencing around the light is for your protection. Otherwise, you could fall with the eroding bluffs.

Ned Point Light is one of the lights on the south shore heading east towards Cape Cod

At, of course, the north end of Block Island, this lighthouse was actually decommissioned, and fell into disrepair. A new small tower was placed on the shoreline, but never carried the popularity of this building - so, it was repaired, refurbished and brought back into being a "working" lighthouse.

The dunes and grasses around the lighthouse are a great nursery for the seagulls.

Old Saybrook's Breakwater Light and Lynde Point Light are depicted here - both are located at the mouth of the Connecticut River.

The Ledge Light sits in the middle of the Thames River, and the Harbor Light, also know as Pequot Avenue Light, is on the western shore of the River in New London. A familiar sight for all submariners, and boaters alike, The Ledge is known for being haunted.

On Lighthouse Point at Mystic Seaport, this light is a replica of the Brant Point Light at Nantucket, MA

Located at Lighthouse Park in New Haven, this is no longer a working light. There is a simple incandescent light bulb in the lantern house overlooking New Haven Harbor. There is normally a Christmas display each year in the park.

Just off Mystic, CT, Latimer sits in Fisher's Island Sound. Area residents and fishermen can tell you of the hazards in the water around this light.

In Fisher's Island Sound, at the narrowest point at the entrance to Long Island Sound, the waters sit quiet for about 5 minutes twice each day - when the tide turns. The rest of the time, the water speed is something to behold! Subject of a TAPS investigation, it appears that this lighthouse is haunted!!
