Artist's Description
Pemaquid Point Light
The Pemaquid Point Light is a historic lighthouse located in Bristol, Maine, at the tip of the Pemaquid Neck.
The lighthouse was commissioned in 1827 by John Quincy Adams and built that year. Due to poor workmanship (salt water was used in the mortar mix), the lighthouse began to crumble and was replaced in 1835. The original light was an Argand-Lewis parabolic reflector, lit with candles and with a visibility of 2 miles. After Augustin Fresnel invented a superior way of focusing light in the early 1850s, most lighthouses in the US were converted to the Fresnel lens, with Pemaquid Point receiving a fourth order Fresnel in 1856. The lens is one of only six Fresnel lenses still in service in Maine. The keeper's house was built in 1857. The station was automated in 1934.
The lighthouse was chosen to be featured on the Maine quarter, the 23rd in the 50 State Quarters Program issued by the U.S. Mint. Also depicted is a 3-masted schooner. Exposed bedrock...
