The Curtis Island lighthouse stands guard over Camden harbor in Maine, with vibrant summer greenery in the background and deep blue ocean waters in the foreground.
The brick tower, just 25 feet high, was built in 1896 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is accompanied by a wood frame keeper’s house, a small brick oil house, and a toolshed.
The five acre Curtis Island helps protect Camden from the rough seas of Penobscot Bay, part of the Gulf of Maine, a large area of the Atlantic Ocean stretching from Cape Cod to Nova Scotia.
A framed print of this image is on display at the Seacoast Artist Association gallery in Exeter, NH during the month of August 2025.
