Egg Rock Light Built on a rocky ledge in 1875 and intended to show the way to Frenchman Bay. It consists of a 1 1/2 story wood keepers house with the brick tower in the center, to conserve space. In 1876 a March gale moved the the bell tower some 30 feet. And in 1887 it received more damage from a blizzard and a skeleton bell tower was was built, and later replaced with a steam driven fog horn. The fifth-order Fresnel lens was replaced in 1902 by a fourth-order lens, and the color was changed from fixed red to flashing white. In 1903 the battleship Massachusetts went aground and prompted the addition of a new fog horn. But Joseph Pulitzer, owner of a nearby estate complained of the noise, and that it "disturbed his quietude", so the signal was turned away from his property, and remains that way today. In 1976 the light was automated and the keeper removed, and new Rotating aerobeacons installed after removing the lantern. Egg Rock Light does not have pretty appearance, and is labeled as one of the most unattractive lighthouses in the State of Maine. Responding to complaints, the Coastguard in 1986,installed a new aluminum lantern, 190mm optic and a railing around the lantern deck to improve the looks of the lighthouse.
