| Built to mark or alert sailors about dangerous coastlines, the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse (see location link below) constructed in 1827 by Jeremiah Berry. The original tower didn’t last long due to poor craftsmanship. A new tower was commissioned by Berry’s nephew, Joseph. By 1856, a new lantern and keeper’s quarters were built by the Durham family, who resided on Pemaquid Point. Presently, you can visit the keeper's house, which now hosts a Fishermen's Museum. |

ReplyDeleteThere is something very special about lighthouses. Maybe it's the feeling of "safe harbor" that photos like this convey. Thanks for the link to the location. Wow, is it ever remote. I bet getting there is quite a beautiful journey.
