The lighthouse is located offshore at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, a few miles from the port of Portsmouth. While it serves as a guide to Portsmouth, I wouldn't call it a symbol of the harbor. The lighthouse that better fits that role is Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse in New Castle, NH, which is cared for by the hard-working volunteers of Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse.

Without Tim Harrison’s qualifying comment, ownership of Whaleback Ledge Lighthouse could be transferred to a organization outside of the region. The good news is your local confidence for partnerships preserving the symbol of Portsmouth Harbor!

It's likely that ALF will be involved; exactly what the role will be isn't clear yet. <br/><br/>It's too early to say much right now, but I'm very confident the lighthouse will be well cared for. It will be a challenge, like all offshore lighthouses, but partnerships will be the key, I believe. There is plenty of local support for preserving Whaleback Lighthouse.

It is still possible that ALF could find viable partners that could work together to restore and maintain the struture or find sources of funds that might previoulsy been unavailable or unknown to the organization.
