Portland Breakwater Lighthouse

Portland Breakwater Lighthouse, affectionately known as Bug Light, stands at the end of a granite breakwater in South Portland, Maine. Completed in 1875, the lighthouse was built to guide vessels entering Portland Harbor, one of New England's most important maritime ports. Renowned for its distinctive Classical Revival architecture, the cast-iron lighthouse features decorative details rarely seen in navigational aids. Overlooking Casco Bay and the busy harbor approaches, it remains one of Maine's most recognizable and beloved coastal landmarks.

This vintage-inspired Portland Breakwater Lighthouse print celebrates one of New England's most unique harbor beacons. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's elegant architecture, breakwater setting, and sweeping views of Portland Harbor. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, coastal travelers, and collectors of New England landmarks, this piece captures the charm and maritime character of a beacon that has welcomed mariners to Casco Bay for 150 years.
