Wow, this was a Ghost Lighthouse for me. I was reading about the background of Maine's Lighthouses and came across some information on this one. It is about 9 miles offshore from York Beach and can be seen from Cape Neddick. Well imagine my surprise and glee when I went back to the raw images of the Cape Neddick Light and found that I had captured this shot. Mind you, it's not very good but at least I have it. I'm thinking about buying a longer lens so I can get more detail on the next trip.
According to my research, this island is a just a strip of jagged rocks waiting to destroy a passing ship. The most notorious wreck was that of the Nottingham Galley in 1710 where the survivors resorted to cannibalism.
