Burnt Coat Harbor Light
Burnt Coat Harbor Light, Maritime lighthouse at Hockamock Head, Swan's Island, Maine.
The Burnt Coat Harbor Light station consists of four structures: a 32-foot tower, keeper's house, bell house, and oil house on 3 acres of coastal land.
The lighthouse, constructed in 1872, guided maritime traffic through the Western Way and received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The keeper's house functions as a historical exhibition space and art gallery during summer, showcasing the maritime heritage of Swan's Island through artifacts and displays.
The lighthouse facility offers free access to its buildings, coastal trails, and beaches, with tower tours available multiple times throughout the week.
In 2017, the lighthouse replaced its traditional lighting system with LED technology while maintaining its role as an active navigational aid powered by solar panels.
