How to see it
Above water but beyond the horizon from Prospect Harbor Point, 33 km (20 mi) away: the curve of the earth hides it. CoastFinder draws it faintly and marks it hidden, with its bearing and distance.
On the website for now. Maine's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when Maine arrives.
