Description
The Wood Island Station was erected in 1908 on Wood Island in Kittery Point, Maine. Its location is a dramatic and vulnerable one-acre island at the entrance of the Piscataqua River where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. It replaced an existing 1888 station, the Jerryโs Point Station, across the river in New Castle, New Hampshire. The building is a modified Duluth-type station, designed by architect George R. Tolman and built by Sudgen Brothers of Portsmouth, NH. It remained active until 1948, when it was replaced by a new US Coast Guard station, back again in New Castle, called Station Portsmouth Harbor that remains active to this day.
