Maine Boon Island Light fetches 78000 in auction
The Boon Island Light Station, built in 1855 on a rocky Maine isle six miles off the coast, drew a winning bid of 78000 with 30 days for the GSA to evaluate and close the sale. The lighthouse remains an active aid while ownership shifts to a private bidder amid a history of shipwrecks and prior transfers.
