Bass Harbor Head Light, for Ardy.
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
"Bass Harbor Head Light Station was constructed in 1858 from funds appropriated by Congress. The site was considered significant from 1858 to 1948 for its mid-19th Century design and construction, and for its association with Maine’s critical reliance on maritime transportation and aids that made that transportation possible. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The property was previously administered by U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), totaling 2.5 acres with five structures contributing to the historic landscape. This included:
Lighthouse (1858) with a tower that is 37-feet tall including the lightening rod. The lantern (1901) is a fourth-order Fresnel lens. The light is occulting red for four seconds and eclipsed for one second. The range is 13 miles.
Keeper’s dwelling (1858)
Bell House (1897)
Oil House (1902)
Barn (1905)
A 52 acre parcel was purchased by National Park Service in 1937 from the Worcester family. The purchase included the entrance road, parking lot, restroom, short hiking trail, and stairway to a shoreline viewpoint area. On July 8, 2020, the National Park Service formally accepted transfer of the Bass Harbor Head Light Station from the USCG. USCG will retain right-of-way to operate and maintain the automated aid to navigation.
Shortly after the formal transfer, the red acrylic "chimney" around the fourth-order Fresnel lens was removed. The USCG replaced the white lamp with a red LED, allowing for the removal of the chimney while maintaining the historic red light."
