Portland Head Light

Our first destination in Maine was Hebron, where are friends Kathy and David Whittier live. They have become our personal Maine tour guides.


The first place they took us to was Portland Head Light.
The oldest lighthouse in Maine, built in 1791.


Most photographed lighthouse.


Beautiful scenery!




















The museum was also very interesting.


One of the lights that came from France.

Master Time Control Clock
The IBM Electronic Self Winding Time Control Clock was used at a radio beam station. Using charts a navigator could more accurately pinpoint the vessel's location by the times the signals were received.


Watervlift Arsenal 1898.


Then I picked up these two cute guys and we headed to the Portland Observatory.
