Summary
[edit]DescriptionNS-01245 - Cape D'Or Lighthouse (52213795825).jpg |
English: Cape D'Or Lighthouse.
French explorer Samuel de Champlain named Cape D’Or (Cape of Gold) in 1607. Originally established as a fog horn station in 1875, the light station is perched halfway up the dramatic cliffs rising out of the turbulent Minas Channel. The cape received its first lighthouse in 1922. The present lighthouse, is a one-story fog signal building (fog horn had been removed when I was there in 2022, it use to be on the red pad) with a light tower rising from one corner, it was built in 1965. After automation in 1989, the two keeper’s dwellings, completed in 1959, sat vacant until being leased by the Advocate District Development Association in 1995 and converted into a tearoom and hostel. This is the only lighthouse in Nova Scotia to offer overnight accommodations. |
