EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, Circa 1915: The Enduring Charm of the Portland Head Lighthouse" Cape Elizabeth, Maine, USA, circa 1915: A captivating snapshot of a bygone era, this photograph transports us back in time to the picturesque coastal town of Cape Elizabeth, nestled in the heart of New England. The image, taken around 1915, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the rocky coastline, dotted with boulders and rugged cliffs, as it meets the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. In the far distance, the iconic Portland Head Lighthouse stands sentinel, its white tower and red lantern gleaming against the horizon. Built in 1791, this historic lighthouse has long been a beacon of hope and safety for mariners navigating the treacherous waters off the coast of Maine. Its enduring presence continues to captivate visitors from around the world, making it one of the most recognizable landmarks in the United States. The photograph also reveals the simple pleasures of life in a coastal community during the early 1900s. Fishermen can be seen mending their nets on the rocky shore, while children play nearby, their laughter carried on the breeze. The image is a poignant reminder of the close-knit ties that bind people to the land and sea, and the enduring allure of the natural world. As we gaze upon this evocative scene, we are invited to savor the timeless beauty of Cape Elizabeth and the Portland Head Lighthouse, and to reflect on the rich history and traditions that have shaped this remarkable place.
