Grindel Point Light, Maritime navigation tower in Islesboro, Maine, US
The brick lighthouse rises 39 feet above Gilkey Harbor, featuring a square tapered structure connected to the keeper's house by a covered passageway.
Congress allocated $3,500 for the construction of Grindel Point Light in 1849, with the original tower and keeper's house completed the following year.
The Sailor's Memorial Museum, established in the keeper's house after the town purchased the property in 1934, preserves local maritime traditions.
Visitors can access the lighthouse via ferry service from Lincolnville Beach to Islesboro, with the structure located near the ferry landing point.
The lighthouse utilizes a modern VLB-44 LED solar-powered system installed in 2017, replacing the original fifth-order Fresnel lens from 1856.
