Crabtree Ledge Light, Lighthouse in Frenchman Bay, Maine.
The cylindrical iron structure rises 32 feet from a rock foundation positioned 15 feet below the water surface in Frenchman Bay.
Congress allocated an initial sum of 25,000 dollars in 1886 for the construction, requiring an additional 13,000 dollars to complete the project.
The location name originates from Captain Agreen Crabtree, the first settler of Hancock and an American privateer during colonial times.
The lighthouse contained a 1,200-pound bell that rang every 10 seconds and displayed a white flash signal every two minutes for maritime navigation.
The structure met its end during a winter storm in 1950 after being sold to local yachtsmen for 105 dollars in 1934.
