About Livingstone Channel Upper Entrance Lighthouse
A cylindrical steel tower, painted white with red trim, stands on a square crib with an attached workroom. This structure was built in 1980 and first lit the same year. It emits a white light with a characteristic of one white flash every 10 seconds. The light has a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. Its focal height is 12 meters above the water. The original lighthouse at this site was overturned by the freighter E.J. Kulas in September 1952.
Why it matters: This light is indispensable for safe passage through the Livingstone Channel, a critical navigational artery for commercial shipping north of Amherstburg. Its presence ensures vessels can accurately navigate the upper entrance.
