Burnt Island Light, Maritime beacon in Boothbay Harbor, United States.
The stone lighthouse rises 30 feet above Burnt Island with a white tower structure topped by a black lantern housing a 300mm optic.
Built in 1821 as the second oldest surviving lighthouse in Maine, the structure served mariners with whale oil lamps and parabolic reflectors until modern upgrades.
The lighthouse maintains a living history museum where visitors learn about maritime navigation and the daily routines of former lighthouse keepers.
Summer tours depart from Pier 8 in Boothbay Harbor through Balmy Days Cruises, allowing visitors to explore the grounds and educational exhibits.
The keeper's house from 1857, boathouse from 1880, and oil house from 1899 remain intact, presenting a complete historic light station complex.
