Boon Island Lighthouse
Boon Island Lighthouse stands on a small rocky ledge in the Gulf of Maine approximately six miles off the coast of York, Maine. Completed in 1855, the 133-foot granite tower is the tallest lighthouse in New England and was built to warn mariners of the hazardous reefs and shoals that have long threatened vessels along Maine's southern coast. Exposed to powerful storms and open-ocean conditions, the lighthouse occupies one of the most isolated and challenging lighthouse sites in the region. Today, it remains a prominent navigational landmark in the Gulf of Maine.
This vintage-inspired Boon Island Lighthouse print celebrates one of New England's most dramatic offshore beacons. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and clean geometric forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's towering granite silhouette, rugged island setting, and the powerful waters that surround it. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, coastal travelers, and collectors of New England landmarks, this piece captures the remote beauty and enduring resilience of a lighthouse that has safeguarded mariners for more than a century and a half.
