The South Portland, Maine Police patch features that city’s 1875 Portland Breakwater Lighthouse. It is known locally as Bug Light and is a popular tourist attraction.
The Cape Elizabeth Fire Department patch features the town’s famous 1791 Portland Head Lighthouse, which is one of the most visited lighthouses in the United States.
The patches came from the collection of the late Julian Scott Kilton and were donated to us by Anita Romleski Herring who inherited them.
Lighthouse patches from Law Enforcement Agencies, Fire Departments, the U.S. Coast Guard, or other military branches can be donated to Lighthouse Digest, P.O. Box 250, East Machias, ME 04630
