Boon Island lighthouse
The 135-foot-high lighthouse, the tallest in New England, sits remotely on a treacherous, tiny island seven miles off the coast in York, Maine.
The rocky outcropping was the site of a 1710 shipwreck that left the stranded sailors resorting to cannibalism to survive the winter before their rescue.
The current cylindrical tower was built in 1855 after earlier ones had been washed away.
As one of the most remote lighthouses in New England, it has a wild history.

Lobster rope doormat
Colorful, hardy, distinct, and local. I am surprised by how much they’re going for online, compared to what our galleries and boutiques are charging here.
Once used to tether lobster traps to their buoys, the polypropylene or polysteel rope has many other nautical uses, where it’s touted as “marine-grade commercial fishing line.”
It shows up in creative baskets and other woven items, too.

And note the ones standing in the river, just waiting for a passing fish.

Alewives migrating upstream
Remember that raging stream a few weeks ago? These river herring known as alewives are less than a foot long and charging against the current to their breeding grounds in lakes upstream.
