Photo Caption:

This is the oldest known photograph of Burnt Island Lighthouse located on an island in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The lighthouse was built in 1821. This photograph was taken in 1859. It is highly likely that William McKown is one of the men shown in the photograph. (Photograph courtesy of Elaine Jones, Education Director, Maine Department of Marine Resources.)
