The music for this video was taken down by youtube. Please play Paul Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years" exactly when the video starts.

The Portland Observatory, built in 1807 at Portland, Maine, is the last surviving maritime signal tower in the United States. Using both a telescope and lantern, two-way communication between ship and shore was possible several hours before an incoming vessel reached the docks.
