This photo of the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine, dates to October 2019. In 1808, West Quoddy Head Light became the easternmost lighthouse in the United States. In 1858, the present red and white tower replaced the original. Maintained by the US Coast Guard, its light still shines through its original third-order Fresnel lens. The light was automated in 1988.
