Boon Island Light, York, Maine. The two keepers stationed at Boon Island in 1978 had to be rescued by helicopter, after a terrible storm rose the water five feet above the base of the tower and dislodged pieces stone. The storm destroyed all the other buildings on the island, and forced the into the men into the light chamber so they wouldn't be swept away. After that, New England's tallest lighthouse (133 ft.) became automated.
