Browns Head Light, Maritime beacon in Knox County, United States
The cylindrical granite lighthouse features a six-sided lantern house and stands at a height of 6 meters above the rocky Maine coastline point.
The lighthouse began operations in 1832 and underwent significant structural modifications in 1857 to improve its navigational capabilities for passing vessels.
The lighthouse represents maritime architectural design from the pre-Civil War period and maintains its status as a National Register of Historic Places site.
The automated navigation system produces one horn sound every 10 seconds and maintains a light beam visible for 15 miles across Penobscot Bay.
The lighthouse connects to the keeper's house through a covered passageway, creating an integrated maritime complex at the entrance to Fox Island Thoroughfare.
