About Jackstraw Shoal Lighthouse
A cylindrical metal tower, 7.5 meters tall, stands on Jackstraw Shoal, Canada. Painted white with a red band at the top, it exhibits a red flashing light with a 4-second cycle. The light's focal plane is 9 meters above the water, providing a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. This structure serves to mark the submerged hazard of Jackstraw Shoal. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Clayton, approximately 5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks a submerged hazard, preventing groundings and ensuring the safe passage of vessels in Canadian waters.
