Desert Rock Light-House (Coast of Maine.) - Antique View from 1845

Genuine antique
dated:

1845

Description:

Engraving of Mount Desert Rock, one of the most isolated and desolate places ever used as a site for a lighthouse in the United States. Located off the shore of Maine, twenty-six miles from the nearest harbor, the rocky islet is only 600 yards long and 200 yards wide, and its highest point is only twenty feet above the sea at low tide. During storms, the entire island can be submerged by waves. Being a keeper at this remote station was a true test of endurance.
