now inactive.
Located on the east side of the Lubec Channel, this lighthouse can easily be seen from Maine (if the fog's not
in). It was pretty thick when I got up, but after breakfast, as
you can see, the other side was visible (if not beautifully lit).
(Take US 1 as far east as it will go, the follow State route 189 to
Lubec. God willing, you will see this light.) |

Grand Harbour (Fish Fluke Point) (19.3) This lighthouse was called the "most endangered in
North America" by Lighthouse Digest. It is owned by a New York City
businessman, Errol Rainess. The American Lighthouse Foundation made a
last-ditch effort to save the crumbling structure. Some stabilization
was done to the lighthouse before the owner refused to allow anyone on
the island. It is doubtful that the structure will last much longer.
