In 1806 Thomas Jefferson signed the order authorizing construction of West Quoddy Head Light . The tower was finished in 1808, and guided ships through the Quoddy Narrows, between the U.S. and Canada, until 1858 when it was replaced with the current tower and keeper's house. The distinctive red and white bands make this light a popular photographic choice. |
