On August 7, 1789, Congress approved the Lighthouse Act, which federalized all lighthouses in the United States. There are still about 700 lighthouses standing along the American coastline. In Maine, where the coastline is longer than California's (if you count all the inlets and islands), lighthouses are the state's most iconic image. Portland Head Light, built in 1791, is the most photographed lighthouse in America. Every lighthouse has a story. Every story involves a keeper, a storm, and a ship that was saved.
