Bennett Bridge in
Oxford County, Maine is listed in "Wilson Mills" rather than the correct "Wilsons Mills", despite having "Wilsons" in the description.

Burnt Island Light Station located South of Boothbay Harbor, in Maine, on Burnt Island is listed in the NRIS as "Brunt Island". Both the name and the location are wrong. --

All Souls Chapel (Poland Spring, Maine) in
Androscoggin County, Maine, refnum=77000060, is listed in NRIS as "All Soul's Chapel." Since Souls is plural, any apostrophe should go after. Since the Poland Spring Preservation Society which owns the chapel does not use the apostrophe in the name, I changed the article name to delete it.

Thanks! It looks to me like a typo and I anticipate that the NRHP official name should have no apostrophe or a differently placed one, but it is hard to say what the official name is without a copy of the NRHP application. The NRHP infobox in the article has also been revised to show "All Souls Chapel" for now. This will be included in the next batch of items to be reported to the National Register.

Kennebec River Light Station has several issues. First, it's known officially by the
USCG as the
Doubling Point Range Lights, which is far more specific on a river that has half a dozen lights. Second, its address is shown as "Fiddler Reach". That's not good -- the lights are
range lights, which show vessels the way up the river. The river turns 90° to the west there and Fiddler Reach is the stretch to the west, not the stretch covered by the range (which does not have a specific name). Finally, it's shown in
Bath, but it's actually in
Georgetown. I'll add a NRHP cite to the
Doubling Point Range Lights and
Doubling Point Light articles which I created today. Should the listing at
National Register of Historic Places listings in Sagadahoc County, Maine be changed or piped -- I don't know the protocol when the actual name differs so much from the NRIS name?

While doing the lighthouses in Maine (see above), I noted the listing for the Tugboat "SEQUIN". It should be "SEGUIN", as she's named after the island at the mouth of the Kennebec River (on which the tug was based most of her life). See both the web site cited on the NRIS listing (www.nr.nps.gov/Red Books/69000013.red.pdf) and this (
http://www.mainemaritimemuseum.org/uploads/rich_text_editor/23sacr2.jpg) from the web site of her current owner, the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath.

Pennell Institute, Lewiston Rd., Gray, ME is listed in Franklin County. It should be Cumberland County. --

Samuel Penney House is an historic house at 78 Maple Street in Mechanic Falls, Maine. NRIS mis-identifies this as being in Mechanics Falls (with an S), while properly identifies several other properties in Mechanic Falls.

Matinicus Rock Light. The same issue with a twist. Matinicus Rock is a bare rock 6 miles from Matinicus Island. It's listed with nearest city "Matinicus Island, Maine". The name of the community is actually
Matinicus Isle. . . . . Jim . . . .

Street address issues
The
Soderholtz, Eric E., Cottage is listed at "Off W side of WA 186, .5 mi. S of US 1", despite being in
Hancock County, Maine. It really is on Maine State Route 186, but this makes it sound as if it's in Washington.

Libby Island Light Station is shown as located "South of Machiasport on Lilly Island". Fairly obvious typo, given the name of the Lighthouse, but also see NOAA chart 13325, etc.

Stroudwater Historic District in Portland is listed as being a "Residental area at confluence of Stroudwater and Fore Rivers" — correct "Residental" to "Residential".

Coordinates issues
Christ Church (Dark Harbor, Maine), coords place it about 1.15 degrees too far to the west, on the Maine mainland rather than on the island where it's located.
