Our Little Maine Lighthouse Book This book will take you on a tour of the lighthouses in the state of Maine.

We actually start in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with the Portsmouth Harbor Light.  We have included this because this location is less than 1/2 mile from the New Hampshire/Maine state line.  This point provides a good view of the Whaleback Ledge Lighthouse, which is the first Maine light on our list.  From here, we travel north along the rocky coast of Maine.  Many of these beacons are on the mainland.  For those that are located off-shore on coastal islands, we will guide the reader to viewing points that provide a reasonable vantage point.

Because Maine's coast is so rugged, many of these classic stations are only viewable from the water.  Our discussions will include three charter cruises that we went on to see eighteen of these facilities.

You will be given detailed directions on how to locate every beacon that we discuss.  Information will be provided on each tower and a full-page representative color photograph will be displayed.  Information will also be given for those lighthouses that are not available for public viewing. This is usually because they are so far out at sea that getting to them is prohibitive or, in some cases, because private property prevents their viewing.  In addition, there are many cases where the original structure is no longer in existence.  A discussion will be provided for those locations where a modern light has replaced the original structure and historical data will be given for those beacons that simply no longer exist. 

Whether you are a lighthouse aficionado who loves chasing these classic structures or a young family on a budget who is looking for a low-cost tourist option, everyone should find something of interest in these pages.  Above all, enjoy the lighthouses.
