Cape Neddick Light Station, Maine

A short distance off the eastern point of Cape Neddick in the town of  York, Maine, about two miles north of the entrance to them York River and a mile south of the entrance to the Cape Neddick River, is a high rocky island-about two and a half acres in area-known as the Nubble. It's separated from the area now known as Sohier Park on the mainland by a narrow channel, about 100 feet wide, that's almost dry at low tide. The explorer Bartholomew Gosnold, who met with local Indians there in May 1602, dubbed the island Savage Rock.
