Goose Rocks Light, Lighthouse in Penobscot Bay, Maine, US
The cast iron tower rises 51 feet above the water at the eastern entrance of Fox Islands Thoroughfare, connecting North Haven with Vinalhaven islands.
Built in 1890 with materials from Boston and Crotch Island, the structure started operations with a fifth-order Fresnel lens producing a fixed red light.
The lighthouse served as a stag station, where keepers worked without families due to limited space, maintaining crucial maritime navigation systems.
The structure operates with a flashing white light every six seconds and includes a red sector, guiding vessels through the mile-wide passage.
The entire lighthouse accommodates overnight visitors across four levels, including the former keeper's quarters on the second floor.
