Fort Point Light, Coastal lighthouse in Stockton Springs, Maine.
The Fort Point Light station includes a square brick tower measuring 9.5 meters tall with an attached keeper's house and additional support structures.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers constructed the lighthouse in 1836 to guide vessels through the increasing maritime traffic in Penobscot Bay.
The lighthouse complex earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, preserving its maritime architectural characteristics for future generations.
The automated lighthouse maintains one of eight operational fourth-order Fresnel lenses in Maine, providing continuous navigation guidance to maritime vessels.
The lighthouse grounds contain the preserved remnants of Fort Pownall from 1757 within the current 120-acre Fort Point State Park.
