Portland Breakwater Light
called the BUG LIGHT


During World War two the land was filled in for shipbuilding which extended the shore to the light station. Originally it had been nearly a third of a mile out in the breakwater.    In 2002 a solar powered light was installed and for the first time since WW2,  resumed its role as a navigational light.

67 lighthouses dot the Maine Coastline. Some are operated by the US Coast Guard, others are operated by the town in which they reside and a few are privately owned.
One lighthouse is operated by the State and used for educational purposes. A living lighthouse shows how life used to be when it was manned by a lighthouse keeper and his family.

The State of Maine is well known for its lobsters, blueberries, potatoes and, of course the hardy lobstermen who work (for the most part) alone in their boats, working their own traps and keeping their own hours. It's never easy, but there is a certain appeal to this business for these 'men of the sea' as they set out each day to manage their business.

The State of Maine has a natural, unassuming beauty. The rugged Maine Coast, with all its inlets and islands has over 4,000 miles of shoreline. Divided in three parts, tourists havens run from Kittery to Portland in the south... the mid coast is less cluttered and extends from Portland to Bar Harbor, while Mt Desert to Canada is pure down east, so named because much of the Maine coast is in an easterly direction and sailors going in that direction are sailing downwind. The far downeast is less populated, fewer towns, colder winters and sharp winds - a place of solitude and natural beauty.
