This Maine quarter depicts a rendition of the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse atop a granite coast and the last three-masted schooner of the Windjammer Fleet. Pemaquid Point Light is located in New Harbor, and marks the entrance to Muscongus Bay and Johns Bay. A shoal created hazardous navigation conditions, causing many shipwrecks and as maritime trade increased in the area, so did the need for a lighthouse. In 1826, Congress appropriated funds to build a lighthouse at Pemaquid Point. Although the original building was replaced in 1835, and the original 10 lamps in 1856, the light is still a beacon for ships and remains one of Maine's most popular tourist attractions. The schooner resembles "Victory Chimes, " the last three-masted schooner of the Windjammer Fleet. "Victory Chimes" has become synonymous with Maine windjamming.

My mother and her friends sailed on the Victory Chimes, the ship on this quarter, past Portland Light. Now they each have a beautiful keepsake.
