  • Moose Peak Lighthouse is a very historic lighthouse located way up in Down East Maine near Jonesport and has served this countries mariners for centuries. Please join me as I journey by boat out to Mistake Island with my friends Billy and Thor. Mistake Island is managed by the Nature Conservancy and is where Moose Peak Lighthouse is located. Billy lets me in and I get an unexpected chance to go inside and explore this awesome old lighthouse on a brisk spring day. The views from the top of the Maine coast and nearby coastal islands are exceptional. The lighthouse is owned by a non-profit historically minded group and they are currently accepting donations to help in its restoration here at GoFundMe under the name Moose Peak Lighthouse Restoration:

    I hope you enjoy this little adventure to Moose Peak Lighthouse on Mistake Island near Jonesport Maine!

    When you said it would be upsetting if the fog horn went off. Reminded me of a time in 1969 in Ulm Germany. I was coming down from the upper tower in a cathedral church named the Munster. 700+ steps and a lot spiral. When descending I was just going past the belfrey when those huge bells started ringing. Scared the heck out of me. I think it gave me vertigo😂. Those bells must have been 15 feet across the.opening. It was tough getting away. Thanks for jogging my memory. Now I probably won't sleep for a week. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💀💀😭😭😥😂😂

    Hi! Fun video, These guys seem like a lot of fun. Nice lighthouse too. My great-grandfather was the Lighthouse Keeper on Poole's Island in the Chesapeake Bay. My grandfather was born on the island and live there until they moved on to the Bush River when he was a kid. My grandmother and now my mom have shared a lot of tintype pictures from the island back then. Lol, not sure why I just told you all that!

    I totally love lighthouses Chigg, but so sad they aren't doing anything to restore it. Some folks just don't have a sense of history. Thanks for the tour, the coast of Maine is gorgeous. See you on the metal detecting video, 'cause I love that too! Have a great day!

    That was Mega cool. We've got plenty of lighthouses around the Great Lakes but you just can't go into him like that. Some of them you can.
