About Rimouski Lighthouse
This Canadian lighthouse guides vessels from its position at the end of the ferry wharf in Rimouski, Quebec. First lit in 1906, the original light was housed in a lantern on a waterfront shed. The shed was demolished in 1953, and the light was moved to the current square cylindrical skeletal tower, which stands 12.5 meters tall. The light emits a single green flash every 2 seconds from a focal height of 14.5 meters, with a geographic range of 11.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light is important for the safe navigation of ferry traffic and other vessels approaching the Rimouski wharf.
