About Gentilly Range Front Lighthouse
The Gentilly Range Front light, built in 1920, is a 6-meter tall square tower constructed of concrete and wood. It stands on a square pyramidal concrete pier and has a focal height of 12 meters. The tower is painted white with an orange-red band and a black stripe. This upstream range light emits a single green flash. Its geographic range is 11 nautical miles. The current structure replaced an earlier light that was pushed out of position by ice floes.
Why it matters: This upstream range light provides a precise navigational line for vessels, helping them maintain their course within the channel.
