Description
Doubling Point Light is one of four lighthouses on the Kennebec River in Maine which were conceived in the late 1800s as an integrated navigational system.
This lighthouse's octagonal tower was placed on Arrowsic Island at one of two points where the main channel of the Kennebec makes a sharp turn.
The Doubling Point station was established in 1898, and the present lighthouse was built that same year. It was automated in 1988, and is still operational.
The beacon was constructed of wood on a granite foundation. Adjacent buildings include a keeper's house, a fog bell tower, and an oil house.
For lighthouse lovers who like to know a light's vital statistics, the height of the tower is 23 feet, and the height of the focal plane is 23 feet. The original optic was a fifth-order Fresnel lens. The present optic is VLB-44 (LED) (2017). The signal flashes white every four seconds.
