George M. Hathaway, an American artist known for his maritime and coastal scenes, created the artwork "Portland Headlight & Breakwater Light, Portland Harbor, Maine" in the late 19th century. This piece captures two iconic lighthouses situated in Portland Harbor, Maine: the Portland Head Light and the Breakwater Light, also known as Bug Light. Hathaway's work is celebrated for its detailed and realistic portrayal of New England's rugged coastline and maritime heritage.

Portland Head Light, located on Cape Elizabeth, is one of the oldest and most famous lighthouses in the United States. Commissioned by George Washington and completed in 1791, it has been a crucial navigational aid for mariners entering Portland Harbor. The lighthouse stands at 80 feet tall and is constructed of rubble stone, with a distinctive white tower that contrasts sharply against the rocky shoreline and the often tumultuous Atlantic Ocean.

Breakwater Light, or Bug Light, is a smaller but equally significant lighthouse located at the end of a breakwater in South Portland. Built in 1875, it is known for its unique architectural design, which resembles a small Greek temple. The light was constructed to guide vessels safely into the inner harbor, complementing the role of the larger Portland Head Light.

Hathaway's painting not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to the importance of these navigational aids in the development and safety of maritime activities in the region. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of the Maine coastline make this work a valuable piece of American maritime art. Through his depiction of these lighthouses, Hathaway contributes to the preservation of Maine's nautical history and the enduring legacy of its coastal landmarks.
