3041. (cabinet photo) Burnt Coat Harbor Light Station, Swans Island, Maine c.1880. Close clear image provides great view of the 1872 light station located on Hockamock Head, at the entrance to Burnt Coat Harbor on Swans Island. The station initially had a front range light with a covered way connecting the two towers, as seen in this image. That tower and the covered way were removed in 1884, thus dating this image to 1872 – 1884. Today the keeper’s house is maintained by the Town of Swan’s Island and is open in the summer with a historical exhibit and a small art gallery. View measures 5” x 7” on mount. Quite clean, clear, near fine. (VG+). $124.
