Charles L. Knight proudly takes a moment to pose at the entryway door to Maine’s Squirrel Point Lighthouse where he was the lighthouse keeper. Knight worked as a clerk in the office of the Lighthouse Inspector for 14 years until 1916 when he became the keeper of Squirrel Point Lighthouse. When his children became of high school age he decided to accept as position as a keeper at Goose Rocks Lighthouse, a stag station in the water near North Haven, Maine. This allowed his wife to live on land with the children and he would visit them on his days off. In 1930 he became the keeper of the Hendricks Head Lighthouse in West Southport, Maine at the entrance to the Sheepscot River near Boothbay Harbor where he served as the station’s last lighthouse keeper.
