Libby Island Light, Maritime beacon in Machiasport, United States
The white granite tower of Libby Island Light rises 13 meters above the rocky shoreline, marking the entrance to Machias Bay for maritime vessels.
Construction of the current granite lighthouse began in 1822 after the original wooden structure from 1817 required replacement due to severe weather damage.
The lighthouse represents Maine's maritime heritage as one of the earliest navigation structures built along the northeastern coast of the United States.
The lighthouse operates on solar power since 2000 and remains an active navigation aid maintained by the United States Coast Guard.
The island becomes a protected bird sanctuary during nesting season as part of the Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge established in 1998.
