Cyberlights Lighthouses - Pumpkin Island

History/Info:
The light and small keeper's house sit on the northern tip of Eggemoggin Reach (really just a small barren island). This small island is just west of Little Deer Island. The light has been deactivated for many years and is a private residence.

Personal Note:
Be aware that you are a long distance from this lighthouse and you will need a long lens on your camera to catch an image like you see above. The focal length for the above photo was probably around 500mm.

Latitude/Longitude: 44°30.9'N 68°74.3'W
