History:
Goose Rocks Light sits in East Penobscot Bay off the northeast end of the island of Vinalhaven. It was built in 1890 and automated in 1963. At that time the 4th order fresnel lens was replaced with the curretn 250mm light. The views from land are at best distant. It is best to view this lighthouse by boat.

Latitude/Longitude: 44°08'N 68°50'W

• This was a tough route to take to get to a viewing point for the lighthouse. This is a good time to have a GPS with you.
• From the ferry landing bear right onto Main St.
• In 0.3 miles turn left onto Sands Rd.
• In about 0.4 miles turn right onto North Haven Rd.
• In about 2.5 miles bear right onto Calderwood Neck Rd.
• Take Calderwood Neck Rd. for a bit over 4 miles. The road ends at a private residence, but before the residence there is a field on the right. Beyond the field you can see the lighthouse off in the distance.
