About Bécancour Range Rear Lighthouse
This modern cylindrical skeletal tower stands 17 meters tall on a concrete pier just off the south bank of the St. Lawrence River. First lit in 2009, it replaced an earlier square pyramidal skeletal tower. The structure's focal plane reaches 23 meters, casting a green light with a simple flash characteristic. Its geographic range extends to 13.8 nautical miles. The light is part of a range system, designed to be visible only when aligned with its corresponding front light, guiding vessels along a specific course.
Why it matters: As part of a navigational range, this light is indispensable for precise alignment, helping vessels maintain a safe course on the river.
