(16) Nubble

This is the first of seven lighthouses seen in one trip to Maine. There are a lot of lighthouses here but you're not falling over them you have to find them, which is half the fun.

This is Cape Neddick known as Nubble and if it is familiar then you've probably seen it in a guide book or an advert for Maine, it is one of it's most famous lighthouses.

It was a bit of a dull day when we visited on 20th June 2007. It's a really good spot though and a popular toursit attraction.

There's a bucket on a winch to get supplies from the island to the mainland, back in the 1960's the lighthouse keeper put his children in and winched them over so that they could go to school!
