Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The Owls Head Light Station's tower was constructed in 1825 and rebuilt in 1852. It stands atop a steep rise near Rockland Harbor, 100 feet above the water. The keeper's house, built in the 1850s, is down a steep set of stairs from the light.
Owls Head Light was automated in 1989. It is an active navigation aid for the U.S. Coast Guard with a characteristic of a fixed white light with a range of sixteen nautical miles. Owls Head Lighthouse is number one on Coastal Living magazine’s most haunted lighthouse list, and there are said to be at least two ghosts at the lighthouse. The lighthouse has a fourth order Fresnel lens that dates back to 1856, it is one of the last six still in operation. The fog signal blasts twice every twenty seconds. |
