Today is National Lighthouse Day! In 1989 Congress designated this day for annual celebration of the "Act for the Establishment and Support of Lighthouses, Beacons, Buoys and Public Piers," enacted into law on August 7, 1789. (Go here for the text of the original Act.) To help celebrate the occasion, here are some photos of Ram Island Ledge Light, in Casco Bay, Maine. An earlier post on this blog recounts some history behind the creation of this lighthouse and includes some additional photographs.
