Lighthouse of the Week, March 23-29, 2014: Portsmouth Harbor

Interesting thing about this lighthouse: it's the only one on the mainland of New Hampshire.  Think about it:  New Hampshire only has about 70 miles of coastline.

The Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse looks strange from some angles, because there's an old fort behind it.  Here's the history:   Portsmouth Harbor, NH

The fort was named Fort William and Mary during the Revolutionary War, and Fort Constitution when it was rebuilt in 1800.  Got that from the history.

Here's the three different angles on the lighthouse, with one a wintry view.
