Point Lookout Western Aerial View834 viewsA picture of the lighthouse from the air showing the lighthouse and the buoy sheds.
View from a Boat826 viewsThis is a great view and you can clearly see the two buoy depot buildings which the Navy used at that time as part of the Radar Tracking Facility. The large pole (tower) was used by ospreys to build a nest when Laura Berg lived there. In his capacity as Department of Natural Resources Police Officer, Erik had a unique opportunity to photograph the lighthouse from this angle.

Point Lookout Southern Aerial View818 viewsA picture of the lighthouse from the air, buoy sheds in view. Note the guano on the roof, still a problem today.
Fog Bell Tower at CBMM817 viewsAnother view of the fog bell tower. Note that the fourth side of the lighthouse has been refinished with wood planking since the structure used to be attached to the coal shed at the Point Lookout Lighthouse Complex. The bell was cast in 1857 by the Meneely Company in New York. Fun fact: the lumber was pre-cut and installed on site, each piece is numbered to allow for simple construction onsite.
Point Lookout Lighthouse, c. 1979815 viewsThe Lighthouse looks very regal in this photograph. The last major rennovation occurred 13 years earlier in 1966, when the exterior was sandblasted.
813 viewsYou can clearly see the entrance to the basement and the flag pole in the yard. This flag pole was used for boat warning flags during heavy winds when Laura Berg lived in the lighthouse. This side is photographed most often because the public has access to this view, and this is the side you first see when driving toward the Lighthouse.
