This sheet focuses on the Maine and New Hampshire shoreline within the First Lighthouse District, one of the numbered divisions the federal government used to manage its aids to navigation. After Congress created the Lighthouse Board in 1852, the coast was organized into these districts, and the First District was administered from Boston. Charts like this one were practical tools for keepers, inspectors and mariners, marking lights, buoys and dangerous ledges along a rocky coast known for fog and strong tides.
