Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Bristol, Maine (4K Drone Footage)

Описание: Experience the historic Pemaquid Point Lighthouse in Bristol, Maine, through cinematic 4K drone footage captured by Barry Mullin, aka Lighthouse Hunter. Famous for its dramatic, wave-swept rock formations, this 1827 beacon is one of the most photographed lighthouses on the Maine coast.

Commissioned by President John Quincy Adams, the Pemaquid Point Light stands as a sentinel at the entrance to Muscongus Bay. The current white conical tower, constructed in 1835, features a rare fourth-order Fresnel lens—one of only six still in active service in Maine.
