Owls Head Light

The Owls Head Light is an active aid to navigation located at the entrance of Rockland Harbor on western Penobscot Bay in the town of Owls Head, Knox County, Maine.

[8] The town of Owls Head is located south of Rockland, and includes an eponymous peninsula that projects northeast into Penobscot Bay, with its tip roughly east of downtown Rockland.

The light station was established in 1825 with the construction of a round, rubblestone tower by Jeremiah Berry and Green & Foster.

[9] It is a 30-foot-tall (9.1 m) cylindrical brick tower on a granite foundation standing on top a cliff.

In addition to repainting the tower, repairs were done to the bricks, the lantern's ironwork and windowpanes, and the parapet's floor.
