Egg Rock Light Station




This is the Egg Rock Light located at the entrance to Frenchman's Bay near Winter Harbor, Maine. (Bar Harbor). Built in 1875 and later became automated in 1976 it is actively maintained by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. A red flashing light every five seconds and 2 fog horn blasts every 30 seconds. The 40 foot tower puts the light 64 feet off the ocean surface. Most of these pictures were taken in or around the Schooner Head overlook area.
