Cape Jellison

Cape Jellison is a 1,600-acre (6.5 km2) peninsula that juts into Penobscot Bay on the coast of Maine.

It is part of the town of Stockton Springs, between Searsport and Bucksport, in the upper mid-coast region of the state.

It was intended to secure the area for European settlement by driving off the remaining Norridgewock and Penobscot Indians.

Later, a regiment of continental soldiers burnt the blockhouse and filled-in most of the ditches to prevent their use by the British.

[2] On the eastern end of Cape Jellison, overlooking the mouth of the Penobscot River, is the Fort Point Light Station.
