A few more pictures from our Maine Lighthouse trip two weeks ago. These are of the Fort Point Lighthouse.
This is the keepers house and tower. It appears to be a private family living there at this time. They were very friendly and welcoming. Please note that beautiful Fourth order Fresnel in the lantern room. Wish I could have gone up to see it, but it was not to be.
Another view of the tower.
Sharon is peeking in the old oil house, now a storage room. Fine condition.
THis light was unique in a way that it still had its bell tower in place. The striking mechanism was gone but the tower and the bell were both in place.
Here is the bell. Note the wording!
More to come
