A Maine lighthouse and the lives around it

Tracing Pemaquid Point Lighthouse from its 1827 construction to the present, Trudy Irene Scee’s history brings together the landmark’s changing role and the people who maintained it. The account follows generations of keepers and their families, while also placing the light against the hazards of Maine’s rocky shoreline: shipwrecks, powerful surf, and accidents along the rocks. Its span—from the early years of staffed lanterns through later technological change and automation—connects the lighthouse’s built history with the dangers that have persisted around it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Maine history and coastal landmarks.
  • Those curious about lighthouse keepers and their families.
  • Readers seeking a historical account of maritime hazards and lighthouse technology.

Book overview

Pemaquid Point Lighthouse was first constructed in 1827 and still sends its beam out seventy-nine feet above sea level. Light keepers kept the lanterns burning from the 1820s through the 1930s, but they could not prevent every tragedy. Ships have crashed on the rocky shoals, taking sailors to their watery graves, while many others have been swept off the rocks by the powerful surf. Despite advances in technology and automation, the shore around the light remains a dangerous place. Author and historian Trudy Irene Scee uncovers the fascinating story of this iconic Maine lighthouse, its keepers and their families, from the construction of the first light through the present day.
