Here are 2 C.G. Cutters at the base.  Portsmouth Naval Prison(brig). Now closed and abandoned. It was a busy and beautiful building (on the outside anyway) and happily I never saw the inside.  Just coming out of the harbor you see Portsmouth Harbor light with Whaleback Light in the distance.  This is PHL with Fort Constitution.9Note the openings for the cannon implacements)  another look at PHL  A little further out is the Light Saving Station at Whaleback Light.  Whaleback Light  Here are Whaleback and the LSS together.

Great pictures, Tom. A unique angle on all those lights and features from the water.

Really like your pictures, Tom.  The last one is my favorite. It looks like the water got a bit choppy though.

Your shots are just great, Tom. The one of the prison looks pretty spooky (wonder what might still wander there?  ) I like the different angle of "another look" of PHL and that last one is very special with the misty look.

That's why the Captain didn't want to go out to Boon Island. It was a shame for the folks that haven't been there before, but so goes life. One woman has tried to get there for 5 years and she hasen't made it yet. All due to high seas. I must, admit she was a great sport about it.

Nice pictures Tom. I would like to see those lights prior to the Portland regional event in October. Is there a boat tour that you have any information on or was this a private group that you went with?

If Bob's link doesn't get you what you want (but I'm sure it will) let me know and I'll get the information that you need.
