Tremont, Maine (Acadia National Park), USA. The cliffside Bass Harbor Head Light in Tremont marks the entrance to Bass Harbor on the southwestern side of Mount Desert Island, Maine. It was built in 1858, stands 56 feet above mean high water. The original fifth-order Fresnel lens was replaced in late 1901 by a fourth-order lens that remains in use today. Enjoy!
