Rockland Harbor Breakwater Light
Rockland Harbor Breakwater Light, Historic lighthouse in Rockland, United States
The Rockland Harbor Breakwater Light features a square brick tower rising from a fog signal building at the end of a 4,000-foot granite breakwater point.
Built in 1888 to replace the Jameson Point light, this 7.5-meter-tall structure marked a significant improvement in maritime safety for vessels entering the harbor.
The lighthouse stands as a representation of 19th-century maritime engineering, with regular guided tours teaching visitors about navigation methods and lighthouse operations.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by walking along the mile-long breakwater, which requires appropriate footwear and attention to weather conditions before starting the journey.
The lighthouse uses a VRB-25 lens with a focal height of 39 feet, producing white flashes every 5 seconds visible up to 17 nautical miles at sea.
