Lime Point Lighthouse

This lighthouse was built in 1883 to warn ships away from the rocky outcropping on which the light station is located. Originally staffed by light keepers, Lime Point was automated in 1961 and still functions today as a signal.

The light station today is a ghost of its former self. But you can see an image of the original structure (since dismantled) at the US Coast Guard website: Lime Point Photo
