Portland Head Lighthouse

Portland Head Lighthouse stands on the rocky shores of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, overlooking the entrance to Portland Harbor and the Gulf of Maine. Commissioned by George Washington and first lit in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in Maine and one of the most iconic lighthouses in the United States. Perched atop dramatic cliffs within Fort Williams Park, the lighthouse has guided generations of mariners through the busy shipping approaches to Portland Harbor. Today, it remains a defining symbol of Maine's maritime heritage and coastal beauty.

This vintage-inspired Portland Head Lighthouse print celebrates one of America's most recognizable coastal beacons. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's historic tower, rugged shoreline, and sweeping ocean vistas. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, coastal travelers, and collectors of New England landmarks, this piece captures the timeless beauty and enduring character of a beacon that has safeguarded mariners along the Maine coast for more than two centuries.
