Cape Neddick Light, Maritime lighthouse on Nubble Island in York, United States
The Cape Neddick Light features a cylindrical cast iron tower with a black lantern and stands adjacent to a two-story Victorian keeper's house.
The United States Lighthouse Service constructed this navigational structure in 1879 after Congress allocated 15,000 dollars for its development on Nubble Island.
The National Register of Historic Places includes this lighthouse, which NASA selected for the Voyager spacecraft collection of Earth photographs in 1977.
Visitors can observe the lighthouse from Sohier Park on the mainland, which provides telescopes, parking spaces, and a dedicated gift shop.
The lighthouse maintains its original Fresnel lens from 1928, making it one of only eight lighthouses in Maine with this historical optical equipment.
