Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The first Soulanges Canal, built in 1779-1780, was the first in North America to have locks. It was replaced by the Beauharnois Canal in the mid-19th century, but by 1899, a new, 14 mile long Soulanges Canal was inaugurated.

Also known as: Pointe Cascades Rear Light. It was moved from its original location near the eastern entrance of the canal to the Parc des Ancres in the town of Pointe-des-Cascades. The inauguration ceremony was held in September 2003. It is 557 meters (1826ft) from the front light.

Tower Height: 13.7 meters (45ft) Focal Plane: 18 meters (59ft) above water level

Both lights were established and built: 1902
