1. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Marker
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 1o bring man near
unto man."
