Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse (Maine) Mechanically Animated Tide ClockEverything Nauticalis proud to present theBass Harbor Head Lighthouse (ME) Mechanically Animated Tide Clock. This stunning clock tracks the tide in true nautical fashion. While the dial counts away the hours between tide cycles below, the top is mechanically animated to show the changing sea level in real time.At high tide the water will sit midway down the sheer cliff, and slowly lower to reveal the rocky and sheer coastline below before beginning to rise again. Bass Harbor Lighthouse, first built in 1858, is located Tremont, Maine, not far from the town of Bass Harbor. The 32-foot tall cylindrical brick tower was attached to the keeper house by a covered walkway. In 1898 the original hand-rung fog bell was replaced with a 2 ton fog bell with striking machinery. The light was automated in 1974 and a local Coast Guard and his family took over residence and care of the house. While
