Burnt Coat Harbor Lighthouse

Burnt Coat Harbor Lighthouse stands on Hockamock Head overlooking Burnt Coat Harbor on Swan's Island, Maine. First established in 1872, the current lighthouse dates to 1918 and was built to guide fishing vessels, coastal schooners, and local maritime traffic through the waters of Penobscot Bay and the surrounding islands. The lighthouse overlooks one of the deepest natural harbors on the eastern seaboard, a sheltered anchorage long valued by mariners along the Maine coast. Today, it remains a cherished landmark of Down East Maine's maritime heritage.

This vintage-inspired Burnt Coat Harbor Lighthouse print celebrates one of Maine's most picturesque harbor lights. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's classic New England architecture, rugged shoreline, and island setting. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, coastal travelers, and collectors of New England landmarks, this piece captures the quiet beauty and maritime character of a beacon that has guided mariners through Maine's coastal waters for generations.
