Passamaquoddy Lighthouse Mug

Passamaquoddy Lighthouse Mug

Some lighthouses guide ships. Others spark imagination. The Passamaquoddy Lighthouse Mug is a tribute to one of the most iconic lights in New England—West Quoddy Head Light, located in Lubec, Maine, the easternmost point in the continental United States. This striped beacon has inspired generations with its candy-cane design, powerful Fresnel lens, and unforgettable cliffside setting. But its influence didn’t stop at the sea—it also helped shape a magical town in Hollywood lore.

Built in 1858, the West Quoddy Head Light is one of the most recognizable lighthouses in America. Standing at the eastern edge of Maine, it overlooks the chilly waters of the Bay of Fundy and marks the closest point in the U.S. to Europe. The lighthouse’s striking red-and-white striped exterior and historic fog signal building have made it a favorite for travelers, artists, and lighthouse lovers for over 150 years.

But this real-life beacon also inspired something fictional and fantastical: Passamaquoddy, the whimsical seaside town in a 1977 film about a boy and his dragon. While the town itself was fictional, its name was borrowed from the Passamaquoddy Bay, which borders Maine and New Brunswick. Many believe that the look and feel of the town, including its lighthouse scenes, drew visual inspiration from the West Quoddy Head Light and other classic New England structures.

This mug blends both worlds—a real, historic place of maritime significance and a fantasy landscape from childhood film memories—into one colorful, comforting piece.

With a splash of color on the rim, handle, and inside, this ceramic mug brightens your shelf and every morning ritual. Whether you're revisiting your childhood or daydreaming about standing at the edge of the Atlantic with salt in the air and a dragon in your heart, the Passamaquoddy Lighthouse Mug is your reminder to look to the light and let your imagination sail.
