Review:
Lighting the path of what was once a bustling waterway on the Kennebec River is the Doubling Point Lighthouse. It is located across the town of Bath, a historic shipbuilding town, and started as a small white and octagonal wooden tower. The lighthouse and fog bell officially began operating in 1898. Later in 1899, the building was transferred to its current location 532 feet offshore, to the peak of a granite pier. Vacationers who wish to explore the Doubling Point Lighthouse may do so thanks to cruises that run out of Bath and Boothbay Harbor. The lighthouse can also be accessed by land via Highway 1 or Highway 127. Though the dwelling and tower are closed to the public, the lighthouse can be enjoyed from the grounds which welcome visitors.
