Observatoire de Portland
L'observatoire de Portland est une tour de signalisation maritime historique située au 138 Congress Street dans la section Munjoy Hill de Portland, dans le Maine. Construite en 1807, c'est la seule tour connue de ce type aux États-Unis. En utilisant à la fois un télescope et des drapeaux de signalisation, une communication bidirectionnelle entre le navire et le rivage était possible plusieurs heures avant qu'un navire entrant n'atteigne les quais. La tour a été désignée monument historique national en 2006; il est maintenant géré par une association locale à but non lucratif en tant que musée et est ouvert au public. L'observatoire de Portland est la seule station de signalisation maritime restante aux États-Unis. Les opérations de la tour étaient payées avec des redevances annuelles perçues auprès des marchands maritimes, qui achetaient le droit de stocker leurs drapeaux dans le bâtiment et hissaient ses mâts lorsque leurs navires étaient aperçus. Un téléphone a finalement été installé, prolongeant la fonction de la tour jusqu'en 1923, date à laquelle la fiabilité des navires à moteur et la communication par radio l'ont rendue obsolète.

Portland Observatory
The Portland Observatory is a historic maritime signal tower at 138 Congress Street in the Munjoy Hill section of Portland, Maine. Built in 1807, it is the only known surviving tower of its type in the United States. Using both a telescope and signal flags, two-way communication between ship and shore was possible several hours before an incoming vessel reached the docks. The tower was 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 Portland Observatory is the only remaining maritime signal station in the United States. Tower operations were paid with annual fees collected from shipping merchants, who purchased the right to have their flags stored in the building and hoisted up its flagstaffs when their ships were sighted. A telephone was eventually installed, extending the tower's function until 1923, when the reliability of engine powered vessels and communication by radio made it obsolete.
