Cape Enragé (157)
The Lighthouse is located off Route 915, approximately 20 minutes from Alma. A cautionary note though, if you are towing a trailer, or driving a large RV, the last kilometer of the road, just past the Cape Enrage pebble beach, is twisted, narrow and steep in places. ARLHS # CAN-096

Located on the east side of the Lubec Channel, this lighthouse can easily be seen from Maine (if the fog's not in). The first time we visited, it was pretty thick when I got up, but after breakfast, the other side was visible (if not beautifully lit).

Grand Harbour (Fish Fluke Point) (19)
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. ARLHS # CAN-709

If you would like copies of my pictures, contact me and we'll discuss arrangements. There are others who do this commercially, I have no intention of competing directly, but you can make a proposal, and I'll react. If you've read this far, you've probably figured out that I personally have only visited a few of the lights on this page. If you have done so, and have updates to this page, please contact me so we can fix things. MailMe
