About River Bourgeois Lighthouse
Also known as: River Bourgeois (Bourgeois Inlet) (replica)
A square pyramidal wood tower painted white stands 8 meters tall on Church Point in River Bourgeois. The lantern room is painted red, and the structure has a gallery. This replica was constructed in 2003, following the destruction of the original tower by fire in 1989. The light emits a single red flash characteristic, visible for 9.5 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed to visitors.
Why it matters: The lighthouse represents a community's successful effort to preserve its maritime heritage after the original structure was destroyed.
