If it's the right quarter, you have your own image of the lighthouse at Pemaquid Point.
It's sticks out into the water in Boothbay. A lighthouse first went up on that spot in 1827, but it wasn't built so well and lasted about eight years. The replacement has lasted much longer.
The structure has become something of an icon - to the point where it was chosen to appear on Maine's official state quarter.
The lighthouse is in a state park, and you can get a good view of the area from there. As you might have guessed, the rocky coast of Maine is on full display - as is some historical information about the structure inside the lighthouse. The part is located at the end of a peninsula located south of Damariscotta.
