Lighthouse Collectable - Cape Elizabeth Light - Danbury Mint - N

Maine - The Cape Elizabeth lighthouse commonly referred to as Two Lights has morphed several times since first being established in 1811. It started as nothing more than a 45 foot octagonal daymarker topped off with a large capstone. Mariners found the tower a helpful marker for the entrance to Portland Harbor but it was useless at night and in fog. In 1828 two 65 foot rubblestone towers placed 300 feet apart were erected on a cliff 125 feet above sea level at a cost of 4 250. One of the towers was equipped with a flashing Argand lamp while the other was given a fixed light. This combination was the first dual light station in Maine and made the Cape Elizabeth lighthouse a unique marker along the coast.Certificate of Authenticity from Danbury Mint included - 4 3 4 tall contact tibbs839(at)aol.com
