Boat Rests Beneath Beacon

The Monhegan Island Lighthouse rises above the keeper’s house, its stone tower standing against a deep blue sky. In the foreground, a boat rests silently on the grass, symbolizing the enduring connection between mariners and their coastal guardians.

Between sea journeys,
the boat sleeps on shore,
while the lighthouse keeps watch.
