Wood Island bell saved for Biddeford Pool church
The historic Wood Island lighthouse bell, long credited with guiding ships off the Biddeford coast, was nearly shipped to Delaware but was saved for Biddeford Pool. Local residents and lawmakers arranged transfer to the Biddeford Historical and Archives Society, which plans to loan it to the Union Church after Portland paperwork. The 100-year-old bell holds strong sentimental value for area families with lighthouse keeper or fisherman relatives.
