About Île du Moine Range Rear Lighthouse
Constructed of concrete, the Île du Moine Range Rear light stands 18.5 meters tall with a focal height of 27.5 meters. Its square pyramidal skeletal tower, topped with a lantern and gallery, rests on a prow-shaped concrete pier. The structure displays a bright orange-red color with a black vertical stripe. First lit in 1906, the station operates a continuous green light. This light is visible for 14.8 nautical miles along the precise range line it defines. The site is open to visitors, but the tower is closed.
Why it matters: As a rear range light, this structure is essential for guiding vessels along a specific channel near Sainte-Anne-de-Sorel, helping to prevent groundings and collisions.
