About Carter Island Lighthouse
This cylindrical fiberglass tower stands 9 meters tall, with its focal plane at 16.5 meters. It displays a white light with a single white flash every 6 seconds. The tower is painted white, distinguished by two narrow horizontal red bands. The current structure was built in 1982, replacing earlier lights that date back to 1872. It is situated on an island within Lockeport Harbour, with the nearest port of Lockeport being 0.5 kilometers away. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation into Lockeport Harbour, guiding vessels into the port.
