Great Duck Island Light, Lighthouse at Great Duck Island, Maine, United States.
The cylindrical brick lighthouse rises 13 meters above the southern tip of Great Duck Island, featuring white markings and a black lantern at the top.
The United States Congress allocated 30,000 dollars in 1889 to construct the lighthouse after a lumber schooner from Lubec crashed on the island in January 1890.
The College of the Atlantic maintains a research station on the island, where students conduct studies on seabirds and marine ecosystems throughout the year.
The fog signal produces one horn blast every 15 seconds, while the automated light follows a five-second pattern to guide vessels in the Gulf of Maine.
A dog named Seaboy survived a shipwreck near the lighthouse and decided to stay with a local girl at the northern section of the island.
