Also known as Bug Light, a small lighthouse first built in 1855 and rebuilt in 1875 at the end of a Portland Harbor breakwater in South Portland's Ferry Village neighborhood. Its keeper once tended both this light and the nearby Spring Point Ledge Light after that station was built in 1897.

A South Portland, Maine beach offering views of Fort Preble, Fort Scammel, and Spring Point Ledge Light across Casco Bay. Neighboring Fort Preble, built in 1808, was the most active of Maine's coastal forts, seeing service in the War of 1812, the Civil War, and both World Wars.

The oldest lighthouse in Maine, completed in 1791 by order of President George Washington after Portland-area merchants petitioned for a light to mark the harbor entrance. The keeper's house is now a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth.

A granite lighthouse in Casco Bay, Maine, built after the 1900 wreck of the transatlantic steamer California prompted Congress to fund a proper light on the dangerous ledge. Crews hauled 699 four-ton granite blocks from a Vinalhaven quarry to build the tower, first lit in 1905.

Also known as Two Lights, this Maine station originally consisted of twin towers built in 1828, the first paired lighthouses on the Maine coast, replaced by taller 67-foot cast-iron towers in 1874. Only the eastern tower remains lit today; the western tower was retired in 1924, and the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

A Maine lighthouse first established in 1808 after repeated shipwrecks near Biddeford Pool, with the current 47-foot granite tower completed in 1858. It remains an active aid to navigation and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
