Description:
The distinctive red and white candy-striped West Quoddy Head Lighthouse is one of the most frequently depicted American lighthouses on calendars and posters. The lighthouse stands on the easternmost point of the United States mainland. Thomas Jefferson signed the order in 1806 authorizing construction of a lighthouse at West Quoddy. The tower was finished in 1808, and guided ships through the Quoddy Narrows, between the U.S. and Canada, until 1858 when it was replaced with the current tower and keeper's house.
