  • Website Burnt Island Lighthouse Restoration 2020.Docx
    Restoration Report Burnt Island Light Station Summer 2020 Property Owned by: State of Maine, Department of Marine Resources Project Funded by: Donations to Keepers of the Burnt Island Light Project Managed by: Department of Marine Resources, Bureau of General Services Report Written by: DMR Education Director, Elaine P. Jones Abstract On November 9, 1821, Keeper Joshua B. Cushing lit up the Burnt Island Lighthouse for the very first time. After his tenure, 30 other men followed his footsteps up those winding stairs into the lantern-room to illuminate Boothbay Harbor’s guiding light. This monument of hope and integrity has served mariners for nearly 200 years and its devoted keepers served it in return. However, in 1988 automation took away the last true lighthouse keeper, thus removing the love, attention, and financial backing that went into maintaining a lighthouse, keeper’s dwelling, and outbuildings. Built the year after Maine became a state, the lighthouse’s rubble-stone construction has never been altered making it Maine’s oldest “original” lighthouse. From afar and with a fresh coat of paint each year, the iconic beacon looked pretty good, but under a thick layer of stucco it was a different story. Not only had its 199-year-old mortar crumbled; its lantern-room and spiral stairs had rusted; its interior brick liner needed repairs; and surfaces inside and out needed paint. With its 200th Anniversary just one year away, there was no better time than now to restore the entire Burnt Island Light Station. It was high time to stop the deterioration and take action to preserve what was left and replace what was in disrepair.
