This Maine lighthouse is the Portland Head lighthouse. This lighthouse looks over the Atlantic Ocean and beams a high-intensity light through the night to help mariners judge their distance to the shore.
There are 57 Maine lighthouses which are still active, according to the United State Coast Guard. Although lighthouses used to be operated manually by a keeper who lived on the property, today all lighthouses are automated.
