About Byng Inlet Range Rear Lighthouse
The Byng Inlet Range Rear light, first lit in 1890, functions from a square pyramidal skeletal tower constructed in 1936. This 18-meter structure includes an enclosed lantern, gallery, and watch room, finished in white with an orange daymark. Its focal height reaches 19.5 meters. The light displays a continuous red signal, visible for 13 nautical miles. Located on the south side of the Byng Inlet channel, close to Britt (3.6 km away), this functioning aid continues the work of an earlier installation.
Why it matters: This range light serves as a primary navigation aid for Byng Inlet, directing vessels through the channel entrance by maintaining proper alignment. Its red light and orange daymark offer essential alignment references for mariners.
