Phare de Goat Island

Le phare de Goat Island (en anglais : Goat Island Light) est un phare actif situé sur Goat Island, au large de Cape Porpoise, Maine (en) et près de Kennebunkport dans le Comté de York (État du Maine). Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 23 mars 1988. Histoire La côte sud du Maine, à l'est de la Kennebunk River (en), est parsemée d'un groupe de petites îles et de récifs situées près de Cape Porpoise. Goat Island est une île sans arbres, d'une superficie d'environ 3,1 hectares. Le phare est situé sur la côte sud de l'île. La maison du gardien se trouve à peu de distance au nord. Un hangar à bateaux et un quai se trouvent à l'extrémité ouest de l'île, avec une petite cabane à carburant en brique entre celui-ci et la tour. Le phare de Goat Island a été créé en 1835 pour protéger l'entrée du port de Cape Porpoise. La première tour construite avait 6,1 m de hauteur. La station d'origine a été modernisée en 1859 pour devenir la tour à briques actuelle dotée d'une lentille de Fresnel de cinquième ordre. Les quartiers du gardien ont été ajoutés sur l'île en 1860. Le phare a été automatisé par la garde côtière américaine en 1990 et est actuellement en activité. Les maisons et la tour des gardiens sont louées au Kennebunkport Conservation Trust. Le feu de Goat Island peut être vu depuis le rivage dans le port de Cape Porpoise. L'île est actuellement fermée au public, sauf arrangement spécial. Description Le phare est une tour cylindrique en rique, avec une galerie et une lanterne de 7,5 m de haut. La tour est peinte en blanc et la lanterne est noire. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 11 m, un éclat blanc de 3 secondes par période de 6 secondes. Sa portée est de 12 milles nautiques (environ 22 km). Il est aussi équipé d'une corne de brume radiocommandée émettant un blast par période de 15 secondes.

Маяк острова Гоут

Маяк острова Гоут (англ. Goat Island Light) — маяк, расположенный на небольшом острове Гоут вблизи города Кеннебанкпорт, округ Йорк, штат Мэн, США. Построен в 1833 году. Автоматизирован в 1990 году. История Побережье южной части штата Мэн к востоку от реки Кенненбанк усеяно группой из небольших островов и скал, существенно затрудняющих навигацию. Остров Гоут - один из внешних островов этой группы. 3 марта 1831 года Конгресс США выделил 6 000$ на строительство майка, который бы обеспечивал безопасную навигацию к городу Кейп Пёрпес (в настоящее время - деревня). Местом для маяка была выбрана южная часть острова Гоут. В августе 1833 года маяк был открыт. Он представлял собой коническую каменную башню высотой 6 метров. Дом смотрителя также был сделан из камня. Между домом и маяком был крытый переход. Качество работ было невысоким, и уже в 1853 году маяк описывали как "находящийся в плохом виде и требующий существенного ремонта". В 1859 году строительство новых дома смотрителя и маяка было завершено. Маяк представлял собой цилиндрическую кирпичную башню высотой 7,5 метров, соединенную с новым домом смотрителя крытым переходом, и на вершине которой была расположена линза Френеля. Комплекс зданий также включал в себя эллинг и небольшую котельную. Переход между маяком и домом смотрителя до настоящего времени не сохранился. Маяк был автоматизирован Береговой охраной США в 1990 году. В 1987 году он был включен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. В настоящее время башня и дом смотрителя сдаются в аренду Фонду охраны природы Кеннебанкпорта. Фотографии Примечания
Goose Rocks Light

Goose Rocks Light is a sparkplug lighthouse located near North Haven, Maine in Penobscot Bay. It stands at the eastern entrance to the Fox Islands Thoroughfare, a busy mile-wide passage separating North Haven from Vinalhaven. Built in 1890, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Goose Rocks Light Station on January 21, 1988. The structure is now privately owned by a preservation group, and remains an active aid to navigation. Description and history The Maine town of North Haven occupies a large eponymous island in the south center of Penobscot Bay. The island is studded with inlets and peninsulas, and is just north of Vinalhaven, the other major island of the Fox Islands group, from which it is separated by the Fox Island Thoroughfare. Goose Rocks is a ledge roughly between Stimpson Island (part of North Haven) and Widows Island (part of Vinalhaven) at the eastern end of the Thoroughfare. It is a sparkplug lighthouse, a four-level tapered structure with walls of cast iron plating set on a concrete base. The second level of the structure serves as the keeper's quarters, with the lantern house as the fourth stage. The tower is painted white, with a black base and trim. The light station was established in 1890, at a time when Vinalhaven was the site of major granite quarries, and both communities were attracting a significant number of summer visitors. The light was automated in 1963. Declared surplus in the 1990s, a proposal was first floated to turn the building over to the town of North Haven, but this was never realized. In 2006 it was sold to the non-profit Beacon Preservation organization. The light itself is maintained by the Coast Guard, and remains an active aid to navigation.

Маяк Гус-Рокс

Маяк Гус-Рокс (англ. Goose Rocks Light) — маяк, расположенный недалеко от города Норт-Хейвен в заливе Пенобскот, округ Нокс, штат Мэн, США. Построен в 1890 году. Автоматизирован в 1963 году. Местоположение Город Норт-Хейвен занимает одноимённый остров в южной части залива Пенобскот. Побережье острова сильно изрезано, на острове много глубоких узких бухт и заливов, а перед ними — множество мелких островков и скал. Маяк Гус-Рокс находится на пути из Норт-Хейвена в Вайналхейвен, город на соседнем острове. Он предупреждает об опасности, поскольку скалы рядом с ним практически не видны из-под воды даже во время штиля. Подобные одиноко стоящие среди толщи воды маяки называют «маяки-свечки» (англ. sparkplug lighthouse), поскольку по форме они напоминают автомобильную свечу зажигания. История Конгресс США выделил средства на строительство маяка Гус-Рокс 2 октября 1888 года, но его строительство началось только 7 мая 1890 года. Конкурс на проведение строительства выиграл Томас Дуайер, также построивший маяк Лубек-Канала и маяк Спринг-Пойнт по аналогичным проектам. Завершилось строительство 14 ноября 1890 года, а официально открыли маяк накануне Нового года. Он представляет собой коническую чугунную конструкцию на бетонном основании, которая является одновременно и маяком, и домом смотрителя. Маяк был автоматизирован Береговой охраной США в 1963 году. В 1988 году он был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест. В 2006 году здание маяка было передано некоммерческой организации Общество Сохранения Маяков. Сам маяк при этом продолжает работать и обслуживается Береговой охраной США. В настоящее время он работает на солнечной энергии. Фотографии Примечания
Governor's House (Togus, Maine)

The Director's Quarters, Togus Veterans' Administration Center, previously known as the Governor's House, is a historic house on the grounds of the Veterans Administration (VA) facility in Togus, Maine. The house, built in 1869, is historically significant as the only surviving structure of the first National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, established at Togus in 1866 to serve American Civil War veterans. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974. It is a contributing element of the historic district encompassing the Togus VA campus. Description and history The Governor's House is a 2+1⁄2-story brick structure, with a mansard roof and a granite foundation. Its main block is three bays wide and three bays deep, with shuttered sash windows set in openings with granite sills and segmented-arch lintels. The main (south-facing) facade, has a single-story enclosed porch across its center half, topped by a shallow-pitch hip roof. A two-story wing extends to the rear of the main block, significantly increasing its size. The house as 22 rooms in all, and has retained most of its original woodwork. The site that is now the Togus VA facility is the first veterans facility established by the United States. It was established by an act of Congress in 1866, to provide a space for "any worthy soldier" who was "suffering such a degree of disability" so as to need such a facility. The property acquired by the government was a summer resort, capitalizing on local mineral springs, that had gone bankrupt in the war. This facility opened in 1866, and its main buildings were destroyed or damaged by fire in 1868. The government embarked on a major building campaign in 1868–69, of which the residence of the facility's governor (now director) is now the only surviving building. The buildings of this building campaign were designed by the Boston architect Benjamin F. Dwight, and the contractor was Nathaniel Head of Hooksett, New Hampshire. It continues to be used for residential purposes. See also List of National Historic Landmarks in Maine National Register of Historic Places listings in Kennebec County, Maine References
Graham Lake (Maine)

Graham Lake in Hancock County, Maine is a eutrophic reservoir formed by the construction of a hydro-electric power dam in 1922 four miles (6 km) upstream from Ellsworth, Maine. The first dam was a hastily built earthen dam built by the Bangor Hydro Electric Company. It failed in 1923, flooding downtown Ellsworth and doing almost $8 million in property damage. The dam was rebuilt and operated by Bangor Hydro until its sale in 1999. The dam has since been acquired by PPL Corporation, which continues to use it to generate electricity. Water clarity in the lake is low, with secchi disk measurements averaging less than 3 meters. Fish in the lake that are of interest to anglers include smallmouth bass, white perch, chain pickerel, landlocked salmon, and brook trout.

Lewiston station

The Grand Trunk station is a historic railroad station at 103 Lincoln Street in Lewiston, Maine. It was built in 1874 for a spur line connecting Lewiston and Auburn to the Grand Trunk Railway, to which it was leased. It is through this station that many of the area's French Canadian immigrants arrived to work in the area mills. The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Description and history Lewiston's Grand Trunk station stands in its mill district, at the northwest corner of Lincoln and Beech Streets. It is a rectangular single-story brick building, with a gabled roof. The roof has extended eaves supported by large brackets, and there are finial turrets near its gable ends. Windows and doorways are set in segmented-arch openings, with granite sills. The end facing Lincoln Street is adorned with remnants of painting identifying the Grand Trunk Railway. The station was built in 1874 by the Lewiston and Auburn Railroad Company and leased to the Grand Trunk Railway, connecting Lewiston with the Canadian National Railway. Many French-Canadian immigrants arrived in the Lewiston-Auburn area via the station, leading the building to be known as the "Ellis Island" of Lewiston. After rail service to the station stopped, it lay abandoned for decades, and various uses for the building were proposed. In 2010, the Lewiston and Auburn Railroad Company was awarded a Recovery Act grant by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to renovate Grand Trunk Railroad Station. Although the building presently houses a restaurant, proposals are being developed to reintroduce service on the line, connecting Lewiston and Auburn/Lewiston Municipal Airport.

Gare du Grand Tronc (Lewiston)

La gare du Grand Tronc est une ancienne gare ferroviaire aux États-Unis, située à Lewiston dans l'État du Maine. Ouverte en 1874, c'était une gare de la Compagnie du Grand Tronc. Elle est fermée en 1972 et son bâtiment est officiellement protégé en 1979. Situation ferroviaire Histoire La station de Lewiston, située à l'angle des rues Beech et Lincoln est construite en 1874 par le chemin de fer de Lewiston et Auburn et louée au chemin de fer du Grand Tronc, reliant Lewiston avec le Canadien National. De nombreux immigrants Canadiens sont arrivés dans la région de Lewiston-Auburn par l'intermédiaire de la station, menant à l'édifice qui sera appelée la "Ellis Island" de Lewiston. Patrimoine ferroviaire Le bâtiment de la gare est ajouté au registre national historique en 1979. Après l'arrêt des services ferroviaires à la gare en 1972, elle s'est trouvée abandonnée pour des décennies, et diverses utilisations du bâtiment ont été proposées.

Yarmouth station (Maine)

Yarmouth station of Yarmouth, Maine, is located on the east side of the railroad tracks, just south of Maine State Route 115, the town's Main Street. The railroad station was built in 1906 by the Grand Trunk Railroad, and is a well-preserved example of an early 20th-century passenger rail depot, an increasingly rare sight in the state. The building, which is now in commercial use, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1979. Description and history Yarmouth's former Grand Trunk station stands just south of SR 115, on the east side of the Maine Central Railroad tracks. (The Amtrak Downeaster service between Portland and Brunswick runs on the Boston and Maine Railroad line, which crosses this track just to the north. It does not stop in Yarmouth.) The station is a single-story wood-frame structure, set on a high granite block foundation. It has a hip roof and clapboard siding, and is roughly rectangular in shape, with small projecting sections on the either side, and a semicircular northern end. The roof has extended eaves, in a form typical of many railroad stations, with the eaves supported by large decoratively-cut brackets. The station was built in 1906 by the Grand Trunk Railway as a passenger depot on its line between Portland and Montreal. (There were three lines in total at the time of the station's construction.) It is architecturally unique in Maine, particularly for its high granite base, apsoidal curved end, and departure from more traditional Stick style architecture. The Yarmouth Village Improvement Society purchased the station from the Grand Trunk's successor Canadian National Railway for $500 in 1968 to save it from demolition. It housed a florist until February 2018, when it was put on the market for $165,000. It is now occupied by a branch of Maine Community Bank. The apsidal form of its northern end is found in no other Maine station. The waiting room for the station stood on the land now occupied by Hancock Lumber (formerly Yarmouth Market) and Bank of America, as denoted by a plaque in the flowerbed of the properties.

Great Diamond Island

Great Diamond Island is an island in Casco Bay, Maine, United States. It is part of the city of Portland. At the 2000 census, the island had a year-round population of 77. The island is not accessible from the mainland by motor vehicle and has a limited network of roads. The primary modes of transportation are golf carts and bicycles. This fact has become a selling point for the island, marketing the area as "car free" and "kid friendly". The island was used as a military base starting in the late 19th century and continuing through World War II. After the base was decommissioned, the bunkers and residences were left idle for over 30 years before being developed and sold to private citizens. Diamond Cove Diamond Cove is a ferry stop at the northeastern side of the island. The Diamond Cove properties are on the grounds of the former Fort McKinley, making use of the army barracks and officer's quarters as renovated homes. The abandoned concrete coastal artillery batteries exist in the woods at the east of the island, although they are technically private property and off-limits due to safety concerns. The community is gated and, for the most part, not open to the general public, although the Diamond's Edge restaurant is open and located just off the Casco Bay ferry dock. Tours of the grounds, by reservation, are available. A limited number of homes have been built on the waterfront areas of the island; many have been featured in local magazines and newspapers. The Fort McKinley Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Crown Jewel, another seasonal restaurant near the former Quartermasters Quarters, offers surprising new twists to a seafood menu. Billed as one of Portland’s best eateries. In a 2010 GQ magazine article about the coolest small cities in America, visiting the Diamond Cove General Store to get a lobster roll made their list of four must-see places in Portland. History Great Diamond Island used to be named Great Hog Island. Diamond Cove was initially an artistic retreat community, hosting visitors such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and it included amenities including a nine-hole golf course. At the time of the Spanish–American War, the island was converted almost entirely to a military base to defend Casco Bay. Fort McKinley was constructed between 1891 and 1907 and remained in service until the end of World War II in 1945. The property at Diamond Cove remained abandoned for decades, until its renovation to the community it is today.
