Goat Island Light, Lighthouse at Cape Porpoise Harbor, Maine, United States
The cylindrical brick tower painted in white with a black lantern stands at 7.5 meters tall on the southern shore of the island.
Congress approved the construction of the initial navigation aid in 1833, and the first 20-foot tower began operating in 1835 to guide vessels into Cape Porpoise Harbor.
The Kennebunkport Conservation Trust maintains the lighthouse and keeper's dwellings, preserving maritime heritage for future generations through educational programs and guided visits.
Visitors can view the lighthouse from the mainland near State Route 9 north of Kennebunkport or take boat tours around Cape Porpoise Harbor for closer observation.
The L-shaped wooden keeper's house from 1859 connects to the lighthouse tower through a covered walkway, creating an integrated navigation station complex.
