Our second port of call on this trip to the US and Canada is to Portland, Maine. In the short time we were there, a trip to see some of Portland’s famous lighthouses was a must!

“Affectionately referred to as Bug Light because of its small stature, Portland Breakwater Lighthouse in Bug Light Park (Madison Street, South Portland) was built in 1855 of cast iron with a brick lining on a granite block foundation. The lighthouse was first lit in 1875. During World War II in 1942, lighthouse beacons were dimmed for security reasons, and Bug Light wasn't re-lit until 2002 when the Coast Guard added a solar-powered light.
This elegant-looking lighthouse is unique because it's believed to be the only lighthouse in the world shaped like a 4th-century Greek monument. Four Corinthian columns hold up the lens.” www.tripsavvy.com/lighthouses-to-see-near-portland-maine-4159575

HWW, have a great day.
