MAINE - Spring Point Ledge Light 1879
Spring Point Ledge Light, 1879 was converted from kerosene to electricity in 1934. Thanks to postcrosser Sue for the card.
"Spring Point Ledge Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in South Portland, Maine that marks a dangerous obstruction on the west side of the main shipping channel into Portland Harbor. It is now adjacent to the campus of Southern Maine Community College.
The lighthouse was constructed in 1897 by the government after seven steamship companies stated that many of their vessels ran aground on Spring Point Ledge."
