Ram Island Light Station, located just south of Boothbay Harbor, Maine was commissioned in 1883. Today it is under the care and conservation of the Grand Banks Schooner Museum Trust (GBSMT), a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization. The United State Coast Guard maintains the aid to navigation. The museum maintains the grounds, keepers house, out buildings, walkway to the tower and the tower itself. The GBSMT has done this diligently since 1983.
