Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The first lighthouse was an octagonal wooden tower with an attached dwelling. It was built in 1852 at the end of a sand bar at the entrance of Parrsboro harbour. In 1873 a storm washed away roughly one hundred feet of protective work around the station. The lighthouse was routinely threatened by storms over the years and eventually succumb to erosion around 1945 and was replaced by a beacon on top of a skeletal tower.
The present lighthouse was constructed in 1980, a square tower rising from the corner of a one-story building. Tower Height: 6.4m (21ft) high Light Height: 8.53m (28ft) above water level Scenic Drive: Glooscap Trail |
