Burnt Coat Harbor Light

Burnt Coat Harbor Light stands on Hockamock Head at the entrance to Burnt Coat Harbor on Swan’s Island, Maine, marking the harbor approach from a peninsula between the main harbor and Toothacker Bay. Authorized in 1871 and completed in 1872, it is a notably well-preserved 19th-century light station listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The 3-acre property includes a 32-foot brick tower, keeper’s house, bell house, and oil house. A second range light and covered way were removed in 1884; later additions included the oil house in 1895 and bell house in 1911. The light was automated in 1975.
