Description

This light guards the entrance to Portsmouth Harbor, and looks as its name suggests: like a lighthouse perched atop the back of a whale, or some other sea creature. It is closed to the public but can be seen from Fort Foster in Kittery and from the water.

Whaleback Ledge Light Station was built in 1831.
