USA MAINE: Pemaquid Point Lighthouse
The light at Pemaquid was originally built during the presidency of John Quicy Adams, in 1827. Faulty construction was blamed for the quick deterioration of the tower, which was rebuilt with double walls in 1835. The tower is only 38 ft tall, but it's placement on a rock ledge gives the light a 79 ft. focal plane. Flashing a white light every 6 seconds, Pemaquid's fourth-order fresnel is visible for 14 miles.
