Moose Peak Light Shalen’s New Home, Maritime lighthouse on Mistake Island, Maine.

The white and black trimmed conical brick tower of Moose Peak Light rises 17.5 meters above Mistake Island's rocky terrain.

The lighthouse construction began in 1827, with a replacement tower built in 1851 and equipped with a second-order Fresnel lens in 1856.

The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Maine's coast, serving as a crucial navigational aid for vessels entering Eastern Bay near Jonesport.

The automated lighthouse emits two horn signals every 30 seconds during foggy conditions and projects light visible up to 20 nautical miles.

The Nature Conservancy manages 23 acres of Mistake Island, while the lighthouse property occupies 5.89 acres under private ownership since 2013.

Location: Washington County

Inception: 1827
