Marshall Point Lighthouse – Daily Photo

Lobsters and Lighthouses, two excellent reasons to visit Maine. This is the Marshall Point Lighthouse which signals the eastern side of the southern entrance to Port Clyde harbor. In the mid 1800’s, Port Clyde was a major port with shipbuilding facilities and fish canning operations as well as supporting the shipping of granite from local quarries. Today it’s the home of the wonderfully named ‘Herring Gut Learning Center‘ which is a vital educational resource to the surrounding community. Love the headphone-wearing kid in the ‘U Mad Bro?’ t-shirt on their website though I think If I was in that room I’d be covering my nose rather than my ears!
