Little Mark Island Monument
Little Mark Island Monument, Stone navigation monument in Northern Casco Bay, Maine, United States.
The Little Mark Island Monument rises 50 feet high as a pyramidal stone structure with black vertical stripes on each face of the building.
Built in 1827 to assist maritime navigation, the monument received an additional light installation in 1927 to enhance its visibility for passing vessels.
The structure represents one of three similar navigation monuments constructed in Maine, demonstrating the state's commitment to maritime safety in the 19th century.
The monument contains an internal chamber accessed through a west-facing entrance, with a steel ladder leading to equipment that powers the marine beacon.
The structure was built using stones quarried directly from the one-acre island, which features a distinct lozenge shape without any trees.
