Description
The Nubble Lighthouse, also known as Cape Neddick Light, perched atop a rocky outcrop in York Beach, Maine, stands 41 feet high, 88 feet above sea level.The Nubble began operating in 1879 after a five-year construction effort. It was painted white in 1902 after intially being red or possibly brown. Its red beacon flashes at six-second intervals and can be seen from 13 nautical miles away.
Like all lighthouses in the Seacoast, The Nubble is automated. The last lighthouse keeper moved out in July 1989, and the house is no longer occupied.
