York Lighthouse


The Cape Neddick Light is a lighthouse in Cape NeddickYorkMaine. In 1874 Congress appropriated $15,000 to build a light station at the "Nubble" and in 1879 construction began. Cape Neddick Light Station was dedicated by the U.S. Lighthouse Service and put into use in 1879. It is still in use today.

Plans had been in the works to build a lighthouse on the site since 1837. The tower is lined with brick and sheathed with cast iron. It stands 41 feet (12 m) tall but the light is 88 feet (27 m) above sea level because of the additional height of the steep rocky islet on which it sits. 















A lobster boat came in and pulled up some lobsters while we were there.



This guy is the artist who does all lighthouse paintings.  He wrote Dani's name on the painting and explained why he wrote it backwards.




This is the view in the painting
