Portland Maine has many National treasures to be seen and explored including lighthouses. The state is home to some of the earliest ferry routes in the country, which made trips between this locale and other islands possible long before motor vehicles were ever invented. For this reason, lighthouses near Portland are just as important today as they were back then. In fact, the National Register of Historic Places classifies lighthouses in this area as being of “special interest”. Anyone who is planning a trip involving ferries or boats should make sure that they are near lighthouses because they are an excellent place to learn about shipwrecks.
Today, lighthouses are still in use, but many of them have been damaged so severely that they are not likely to be operational any time soon. However, you can still see many lighthouses if you know where to look. Some of the best lighthouses in Portland include ones located near Crittenden Wharf on the Portland side and Washington Street Pier on the Portland Waterfront. There are also historic lighthouses in Bangor, Portland, New Britain, Deer Lake, and New Haven.
You will find that most of the lighthouses in Portland have a website that provides information about their history, which dates back to the 1700’s. You can also find out how to get to the particular lighthouses you are interested in, such as how to board a vessel, what amenities they offer, and when the best time to go is. You can also learn about the different historical events that may have taken place at the location of the lighthouses. If you are looking for a romantic vacation spot that also offers cultural activities and amenities for people of all ages, lighthouses in Portland could be just right for you. There are also several marinas along the coast that offer harbor tours, fishing charters, and other great amenities to visitors.
