About Cape St. James Lighthouse
At Cape St. James, a 4-meter white steel post sits on a square equipment shelter. This post supports a light with a characteristic of Fl W 5s, which has a geographic range of 41.3 nautical miles. The light is located on an island at the southern extent of Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. The first lighthouse, an octagonal concrete building from 1914, was removed after it ceased operation. The present light commenced service in 1984.
Why it matters: This navigation aid marks the island and nearby hazards, serving as a primary reference for ships navigating the southern end of Haida Gwaii.
