Maine's rocky coast caused the building of many lighthouses to protect shipping and save lives. Many of these lighthouses are still standing, preserved by volunteer groups and/or government agencies to ensure their unique contribution to our seafaring heritage is available for future generations to enjoy. A good resource for locating and learning more about lighthouses is The Great American Lighthouse Resource. |
