Nash Island Light, Lighthouse on Nash Island at Pleasant Bay entrance, Maine.
The square brick tower rises 9 meters above Little Nash Island, featuring a pyramidal structure constructed with durable materials in 1873.
The United States Congress allocated 5,000 dollars in 1837 to construct the original lighthouse, purchasing four acres from the Nash family for 409 dollars.
The Friends of Nash Island Light organization maintains this maritime structure through community involvement and regular restoration activities since obtaining ownership in 1997.
Local volunteers use water from a six-foot-deep well on the island to pressure wash the tower and remove accumulated organic growth.
The island continues a tradition of sheep farming, with volunteers gathering each spring to assist with shearing and lambing activities.
