Summary[edit]

Description

Not the greatest of shots but needed for my collection. It is possible to get to this lighthouse but it is a 3 mile hike to do so, maybe someday I will do it. I have sent my lighthouse book to print, another project done. www.blurb.com/user/archer10

The Apple River feeds into Chignecto Bay, which connects with the Bay of Fundy. The first light aid in 1848 consisted of two lights exhibited from windows of a private dwelling, it burned down in 1869.

An official lighthouse was built in 1870 it consisted of an octagonal lantern supported by a square tower on top of the keeper's dwelling.

The present lighthouse dates from 1965, it is a square white tower which has had its lantern room removed.
