Summary
[edit]DescriptionLighthouse ONTARIO-00610 - Gibraltar Point Lighthouse (14840289571).jpg |
English: My main reason for going to the Toronto Islands......
It is the oldest surviving lighthouse on the Great Lakes and the second oldest surviving lighthouse in Canada. Built around 1808 the lighthouse originally operated as a fixed white light by burning sperm whale oil. From 1863 coal oil was used, and in 1872 a revolving mechanism was installed so that the light rotated once every minute and 48 seconds. Electric lighting was first used around 1916, and the current lighting system was installed in 1945. Local legend has it that the Gibraltar Point lighthouse is haunted. In 1815 the first keeper, J.P. Radan Muller was murdered here. Put it in my book: www.blurb.com/b/5493232-nova-scotia-lighthouses-and-beyond |
