Pumpkin Island Light, Historic lighthouse in Penobscot Bay, Maine, United States.
The white brick tower with a black lantern rises 28 feet above Pumpkin Island at the western entrance of Eggemoggin Reach.
The lighthouse, built in 1854, guided vessels through Penobscot Bay waters until its decommission in 1933 after serving maritime traffic for 79 years.
The structure represents the maritime heritage of Maine's coastal communities, where fishing and lumber trading shaped local development throughout the 19th century.
Visitors can view the lighthouse from a fishing pier on Little Deer Isle, accessible via Route 15 after following Route 175 South from Orland.
Charles Babson maintained the lighthouse from 1870 to 1902 despite having lost a leg during the Civil War, performing numerous rescues of distressed vessels.
