Whitlock's Mill Lighthouse*
This is the northernmost light in Maine. In 1892, a red lantern was hung on a tree here, and tended by
Mr. Whitlock who had a lath mill nearby. In 1909 the current light (light is publicly accessible) -- the
last one built in Maine -- was erected, along with the bell tower (fog signal) and the keeper's residence
(keeper's house is not publicly accessible).
The tower is brick, painted white, on a granite foundation, and lined inside with white enamel brick. It is
12 feet in diameter at its base, and is 25 feet in height, rising 29 feet above mean high water. Inside,
access to the top is via cast iron steps. The octagonal lantern area has a narrow iron walkway outside.
Operation of the light is now automated.
The pyramid-shaped, wood-shingled bell house is adjacent to the light, although the bell no longer
resides inside.
The keeper's house (not publicly accessible) is two-story, stuccoed, and with a gambrel roof. The oil
house is of brick construction, and there is a wood-shingle sided hip-roofed shed.
The light was automated in 1969.
* The light tower is now owned and maintained by the St. Croix Historical Society, Calais. All other
property on the original station is privately owned. Access to the light tower, 3 miles from Calais on
US-1 south, is a short walk from the main road or can be viewed from the nearby roadside turnout
(Pike's Park) on US Rt-1.

This little lighthouse, built in 1885, resides within the Roosevelt-Campobello International Park property
near the F.D. Roosevelt Memorial International Bridge.
Overlooking Lubec Narrows, the town of Lubec, a lobster pound, and including a picnic area, it provides

Head Harbour (East Quoddy Head) Lighthouse*
On a separate, tiny island at the furthest point north on Campobello Island, this wonderful lighthouse,
constructed in 1829, and painted with the Cross of St. George, offers visitors an exceptional experience.
The fog alarm building was constructed in 1914 - 1915.
During the season, you're apt to see whales feeding offshore. If they're close enough, and the wind is
blowing in the correct direction, the whales' spouting can even be heard.
At least three other lighthouses can be spotted by the sharp eye from this vantage point: L'Etete Passage
(Green's Point) Lighthouse in St. George, the small Leonardville Light on Deer Island, and on the Wolf
Islands (The "Wolves").
Far off shore lies the car ferry route between Blacks Harbour and Grand Manan Island. Visitors to East
Quoddy Light are apt to see one--or both--ferries and they steam the 13 miles (2-to-2.5 hours) between
the mainland and the large island at the mouth of Fundy Bay.
Although it's dangerous and rugged, for about two hours when the tide is out, the hearty and
adventuresome visitor can climb the steep, slippery metal ladders, walk on the ocean floor. Then, across
two intermediate islands--connected by a short, wooden bridge--and once again down a steep ladder to
cross a rocky, wet, seaweed-covered intertidal zone, and then finally out to the lighthouse itself!
DANGER!--TAKE NO RISKS & DO NOT LINGER! If you become stranded on the islands by the
tide, WAIT FOR RESCUE. Even former keepers of this lighthouse have lost their lives by misjudging
the STRONG, FRIGID, FAST-RISING tidal currents, and TIDE-PRESSURIZED UNSTABLE
PEBBLE OCEAN FLOOR, while attempting to make this crossing. (During a summer in the 1990s,
two visitors attempted to swim across this passage. One made it across, but the other was swept away by

hospital -- and luckily, survived.)

NOTE: While this is a Canadian-built and -staffed light, and while Canadian Wildlife officers

Island. Ironically, this island's nationality was not resolved by the Treaty of Ghent after the War of
1812 and was not addressed later that century by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which
decided the disputed boundary between northern Maine and New Brunswick, and between the two
countries in the Great Lakes region. Since the Paris Treaty of 1873 following the American
Revolution against Great Britain, no definitive decision has been made as to Machias Seal Island's
nationality. (Refer to the CIA World Factbook's Canada page "Transnational Issues" and / or the
CIA World Factbook's USA page "Transnational Issues". See also, Gulf of Maine Times 1997
article, "Machias Seal Island: US and Canada collaborate on bird sanctuary management despite

West Quoddy Head Lighthouse*
Standing attention at the eastern edge of the United States, this candy-striped lighthouse protects vessels
from the rocky shore and shoals of West Quoddy Head, while looking across the water to Liberty Point
on Campobello Island (about 1.25 miles away) and Grand Manan (about 9 miles away).
Construction of the light was authorized in 1806 by Thomas Jefferson, and the original tower was
completed and put into service in 1808. In 1858, the tower was replaced with the current one along with
construction of the keeper's house, and a third order fresnel lens--still in use today--was place in it at that
time. It was automated in 1988. The light is constructed of brick, on a masonry foundation, is 49 feet
high, and protrudes 83 feet above average sea level.
There is a fog horn building on the grounds which was constructed of brick in 1887. Also, the wooden
Victorian-style keeper's quarters were built in 1858. The oil house was built in 1892.
The current tower has 15 stripes--8 red and 7 white.
The light is leased to West Quoddy Lighthouse Keepers Association of Lubec,
Maine.

Indian Point Light
Built and commissioned in 1833, this light has had several close calls. A tidal surge in 1869 (the Saxby
Gale) and another in 1873 nearly carried the diminutive light away. It was moved in 1874, due to the
seawall having collapsed; was moved again in an unknown year; and again in 1876. In 2002, after it was
moved 50 feet away, its surroundings' protective cribbing disintegrated in a winter storm.
As of February 2004, the rare early-colonial wrought iron lantern -- containing four oil lamps that
burned whale and porpoise oil, providing a fixed white beacon -- was removed for restoration.

Towering majestically on the eastern tip of Campobello Island
stands the "East Quoddy Lighthouse", also more familiar to
everyone as the "Head Harbour Lighthouse". An isolated home
in years past, to the many lightkeepers and their families, it stands
now unmanned. A victim of technology hovering on the brink of a
fate that has befallen other monuments of it's own kind. Proudly
looking out over the Bay of Fundy, the most photographed
lighthouse in the world. What will be it's fate........we wonder.
"The Friends of The Head Harbour Lightstation", a concerned
group of local residents, has rallied together to pick up the
torch in a wholehearted attempt to preserve, protect and
promote this irreplaceable piece of history.

The History of Head Harbour

This contribution to the country's maritime development is
one of oldest wooden towers in Canada and a major key to
navigating Bay of Fundy.

Date of building: 1829
Main material: Wood
Nautical characteristics:
Fixed red light, range of 13 nautical miles
During the Napoleonic Wars, when Britain and the United States were
at economic war, the town of Eastport, Maine grew rapidly as a
smuggling canter. Campobello Island, on which Head Harbour
Lighthouse was built (part of New Brunswick, but only 12 km away
from Maine's coast), also became a trade canter. During the 1820s,
trade flourished and traffic grew between Campobello Island and the
Maine Coast. Fishing, shipping, and shipbuilding were very important
activities in Passamaquoddy Bay, but the famous Fundy fogs, high
tides, and treacherous rocks around Campobello Island bit into the
profits and hearts of seafaring traders. Head Harbour's light was the
first Canadian response to this danger, built to warn sailors
approaching the craggy rocks and shoals around Campobello Island.
Former American President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent his childhood
summers and contracted polio on Campobello Island.
The Tower is designated as a classified heritage building. It is still
used as a lighthouse but is no longer manned.

Head Harbour, New Brunswick, is the site of one of the oldest
lightstations in Canada. Established in 1829, it is situated on a rocky
outcropping at the northern tip of Campobello Island. The station now
includes five structures: the light tower itself (1829), the adjoining
dwelling (construction date unknown), a fog alarm building (1914-15),
a work shed (1914-15) and a boathouse (1947). The boat house was
declared surplus to Canadian Coast Guard needs and was considered
by the FHBRO (87 129) in 1988. It was not recognized, and the
Canadian Coast Guard intends to remove it. The other four buildings
have been submitted by Transport Canada for a FHBRO review; no
particular action is anticipated for any of these buildings. Head
Harbour lightstation occupies all of the rocky point/island on which it
is located. Since the tower and dwelling were built, there has been
some change in the buildings at the site. The boathouse, built in 1947,
is the most recent structure. The essential character of the site,
however, has not changed.
HISTORY OF LIGHTHOUSE: The Head Harbour Lighthouse has a long
history as an aid to navigation in the Bay of Fundy and
Passamaquoddy Bay. It is located at the northern extremity of
Campobello Island, which is the largest of a number of islands in the
area of Passamaquoddy Bay near the Maine-New Brunswick border.

East Quoddy Lighthouse
Page 3 of 4
The light is known to local residents as "East Quoddy Light".
Campobello Island is closer to the coast of Maine than it is to New
Brunswick. Twelve miles by sea to St. Andrew's, its road link with the
Canadian mainland is by way of a bridge to Lubec, Maine and a sixty
mile drive through that state to St. Stephen. The island is probably
best known as the site of Franklin D. Roosevelt's summer home; it
was here that he summered as a child and here that he was stricken
with polio in 1921. The family "cottage" is now at the center of the
Roosevelt Campobello International Park, established in 1964. During
the Napoleonic Wars, when Britain and the United States were
engaged in economic warfare, the town of Eastport on the Maine
shoreline across from Campobello Island grew rapidly as a smuggling
center. On the New Brunswick side, Campobello became a transfer
point for trade as well. As the Islanders said, "That's why fogs were
made''. Although the illicit trade declined by the 1820s, general trade
flourished and traffic grew in the narrows between Campobello Island
and the Maine coast. Fishing, shipping and shipbuilding were
important activities in Passamaquoddy Bay, but the famous Fundy
fogs, the high tides, and the treacherous rocks and shoals around the
islands near Campobello Island presented considerable difficulty to
this marine community.
The first light in the region was the American West Quoddy Light,
established in 1808 on the Maine coast at about the level of the
southern point of Campobello Island. The first light in New Brunswick
was established in 1791 at St. John Harbour. The second was in 1829
at Head Harbour, where it was felt that "trade would be benefited and
possibly vessels and lives saved" if the point were lit. Others
followed: Gannet Rock and Point Lepreau in 1831, Machias Seal Island
in 1832 and Quaco in 1835. By 1832, the New Brunswick Lighthouse
Commissioners were so pleased with the state of affairs they reported
"an increase in lights would rather tend to perplex and embarrass the
mariner on his voyage seaward." The volume of coastal trade along
the Bay of Fundy and the coast of Maine increased with the l9th
century, and the chain of lights in the dangerous Passamaquoddy
area was strengthened by a number of other lights.
An upgraded fog alarm was installed at Head Harbour in 1880 in
response to repeated requests from mariners, and in 1885 a second
light was established on Campobello Island at Mulholland Point near
the site of the modern bridge to Maine. Today, the waterways in the
region are still busy, and the natural hazards to navigation have not
diminished. The Head Harbour light continues, after over 150 years, to
provide an essential service to the marine community in the area.
The Head Harbour lightstation is about two and a half miles from the
nearest community, Wilson's Beach. The rocky outcropping on which
the station is set becomes an island at high tide and is connected with
the main body of the island by more of these rocky quasi- islands. A
road from Wilson's Beach runs to a spot within walking distance of
the lightstation. Beyond that point, the station is accessible by foot at
http://www.campobello.com/lighthouse/litehistory.html

low tide. At the time it was built, the station was relatively isolated,
and it is unlikely that its establishment played any significant role in
the development of nearby communities.
The tower's wooden, shingle clad exterior is painted white with a
distinctive red cross. The 51' octagonal structure is tapered. It was
built in 1829 using heavy timber; the original lantern was replaced by
the current cast iron model in 1887. The distinctive daymark in the
form of a red cross has been on the tower at least since
Confederation. The principal decorative touches are the flared cornice
supporting the lantern base and the shaped hoods over the windows
which have been placed on all but one of the faces of the tower. The
tower is attached by a covered walkway to the dwelling, and it is also
accessible from outside by a door on the southwest side. The stone
foundation has been covered by cement. While the structure has been
reshingled and painted many times, and the daymark extended to all
elevations, photographs show that since 1902, at least, the
appearance of the tower has changed very little.
