  Nash Island Light is a lighthouse on Nash Island at the entrance to Pleasant Bay in Maine.
  
  ## History
  
  It was first established in 1838. The present structure was built in 1874. It was replaced by a buoy in 1982. The USCG historical site says that it included a one-room schoolhouse, although that's hard to understand on a small offshore island.
