Description
The 122' Casco Bay Lines ferry, Machigonne II, passes behind Portland Breakwater Light (also called Bug Light) in South Portland, Maine. The lighthouse was first built in 1855, as a wooden structure, but the breakwater was extended and a new lighthouse was constructed in 1875.
Fort Gorges on Hog Island Ledge in Casco Bay can been seen int he distance on the right. It was built during the Civil War, but technological advances during the war made the fort obsolete before it was completed and troops were never stationed there.
