28256. (photo) Heron Neck Lighthouse, Green’s Island, Maine c.1890. Heron Neck Light Station was established in 1854 on rocky Green’s Island, at the east entrance to Hurricane Sound, to help guide mariners heading for Vinalhaven’s Carver’s Harbor. The 30-foot brick tower was attached to the keeper’s house, also constructed of brick. A fifth-order Fresnel lens displayed a fixed red light 92 feet above the sea. Early mounted view measures 3 ½” x 4 ½” on 4 ¼” x 5 ¼” card mount, and shows the station high atop the rocky cliff. . Photo is clear and close, light soiling and foxing, damage to one corner, on period mount. Mount with some edge wear. Would look good matted. (G+). $48.
