Perkins Island Light, Wooden lighthouse in Sagadahoc County, United States.
The lighthouse features a tapered octagonal wooden tower covered with shingles, standing 7 meters high on the westernmost part of Perkins Island.
Built in 1898 during a major upgrade of Kennebec River navigational aids, the lighthouse was part of a project including Doubling Point and Squirrel Point lights.
The light station represents maritime navigation development in Maine, with its keeper's house, barn, bell house, and oil house reflecting late 19th-century coastal architecture.
The lighthouse remains an active navigational aid on the Kennebec River, featuring an octagonal lanternhouse that guides vessels through the surrounding waters.
The station includes a pyramidal bell tower positioned near the shore, south of the main tower, maintaining its original structural configuration from 1898.
