For nearly a century, a 4th Order Fresnel lens guided ships safely into the Port of Salem. Today it is on display at the Maine Lighthouse Museum in Rockland, Maine — 200 miles from the lighthouse it was made to serve.

The US Coast Guard has agreed to a long-term loan of the lens to Essex Heritage. The return of this lens is a reunion. The Assistant Keeper's House where the lens will be displayed is the same building where keepers once lived with their families.

Help Essex National Heritage Area reunite the lens with its lighthouse on Bakers Island!
