Saddleback Ledge Light
Saddleback Ledge Light, Navigation lighthouse in Knox County, Maine, United States.
The granite conical tower rises 13 meters above sea level with a ten-sided lantern house at its peak, marking the southeastern entrance to Penobscot Bay.
Architect Alexander Parris designed this lighthouse in 1839 following the tragic sinking of The Royal Tar ship, which transported circus performers and animals near the ledge.
The structure represents one of five lighthouses in Maine attributed to Alexander Parris, demonstrating the evolution of maritime navigation architecture in the 19th century.
This active navigation aid generates a white flash every six seconds with a range of nine nautical miles, accompanied by a fog signal sounding once every ten seconds.
During the 1920s, this remote station operated exclusively with male keepers, earning the designation of a 'stag' station within the lighthouse service system.
