- Portland Observatory - The Portland Observatory is a historic maritime signal tower located at 138 Congress Street in the Munjoy Hill area of Portland, Maine. Built in 1807, it is the only known surviving tower of its kind in the United States. It facilitated two-way communication between ship and shore using a telescope and signal flags, allowing contact several hours before a vessel reached the docks. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006, it is now managed by a local nonprofit as a museum and is open to the public. The tower was funded by annual fees from shipping merchants, who paid to have their flags stored and hoisted when their ships were sighted. A telephone was later installed, extending its use until 1923, when engine-powered vessels and radio communication rendered it obsolete.
