Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Took this from the road on the way to "The Hawk", a long beach for a better shot, I hoped.

This is the tallest lighthouse in the Maritime Provinces (Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick).

The station was de-staffed in 1986, and was remotely monitored from Cape Forchu, Yarmouth. Currently, the light is monitored from Letete, New Brunswick. A variety of buildings and dwellings were erected over the years. They were burned down by the Coast Guard in 1988 and today, only the concrete tower remains.

Location: Southern portion of Cape Sable Island Began: 1923 and Lit in 1924 Structure Type: Octagonal concrete tower, white, red lantern Tower Height: 30.78 meters (101ft) high
