This bookmark is hand-made by Jean McLean. It measures 2 1/2 inches by 7 inches and is laminated for protection. It has a tassel. I am showing my gallery and myself so you will know I hand made this myself using my own photos and artwork.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Seguin Light is a lighthouse on Seguin Island, in the Gulf of Maine south of the mouth of the Kennebec River, Maine.Established in 1795, it is the second-oldest of Maine's coastal lighthouses, and the only lighthouse in the state housing a first-order Fresnel lens. With its light at 180 feet (55 m) above mean sea-level, the present tower, built in 1857, is its highest of the state's lighthouses. Automated in 1985, the buildings of the light station are now operated as a museum property by a non-profit organization, and are seasonally open to the public via scheduled ferry from Popham Beach in Phippsburg. The light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Seguin Island Light Station
Seguin Light was deactivated by the coast guard in April 2019 due to a power cable problem. The lighthouse is awaiting a generator, and eventually a more permanent fix in the form of solar panels.[1] In the meantime, the coast guard has set up a temporary solar beacon as a navigational aid.
