Maines State Quarter design shows the lighthouse at Pemaquid Point, located in New Harbor. In the ocean to the right of the lighthouse there is a schooner that resembles Victory Chimes, the last of Maines legendary fleet of sailing ships known as windjammers. The schooner symbolizes Maines Traditional maritime industries. The Maine State Quarter was the first U.S. coin to depict a lighthouse. It was also the third State Quarter to feature a sailing ship, following the 2000 Virginia and 2001 Rhode Island coins.
