Caption: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Plaque
Additional Description: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow often walked from Portland to visit this Lighthouse. The Keepers were his friends, and it is believed he sat here for inspiration for his poem "The Lighthouse"
"Sail on; Sail on ye stately ships
And with your floating bridge the ocean span
Be mine to guard this light from all eclipse
Be yours to bring man near unto man."
