Description
English: Erected in 1858, Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse is one of the tall beacons built by the Canadian Coast Guard in Québec. Canada’s tallest lighthouse, it soars 34.1 metres (112 feet) into the air. With white marble walls over 2.1 metres (7 feet) thick at the base and tapering to 0.9 metres (3 feet) at the top of the tower, it stands on a foundation rooted 2.4 metres (8 feet) deep in the soil. Its powerful light, perched 41.4 metres (136 feet) above the sea, has guided ships without fail since the lighthouse was built. The site has been developed to enhance this magnificent structure, which was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1977.
Français : Érigé en 1858, le phare de Cap-des-Rosiers est un des imposants phares construits par la Garde côtière canadienne au Québec, et de surcroît le plus haut phare du Canada, faisant 34.1 mètres (112 pieds) de hauteur. Avec ses murs de marbre blanc d'une épaisseur de 2.1 mètres ( 7 pieds) à la base, et 0.9 mètre (3 pieds) au sommet, le phare repose sur une fondation s'enfonçant à 2.4 mètres ( 8 pieds) dans le sol. Sa puissante lanterne, perchée à 41.4 mètres (136 pieds) au-dessus de la mer, a guidé les navires sans défaillance depuis la construction du phare. Le site, qui est aménagé pour mettre la structure en valeur, est inscrit depuis 1977 au Répertoire des lieux patrimoniaux du Canada (lieu patrimonial de la Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine, sous le Nº 7403).
