About Shaganash Island Lighthouse
Also known as: Shaganash Island (Island Number 10)
Shaganash Island Lighthouse, constructed in 1910, is a square pyramidal wooden tower reaching 7.5 meters in height. It supports a red lantern and gallery above a white body adorned with red trim. Its light, situated at an 11-meter focal height, produces a white flash every 4 seconds (Fl W 4s) and is visible for 10.7 nautical miles. Located on an island east of Edward Island, it is about 25 kilometers northeast of Silver Islet on Lake Superior. In 2014, Canadian Lighthouses of Lake Superior took over its management and undertook restoration and repainting. The structure received Heritage Lighthouse status and ownership transfer to CLLS in 2023.
Why it matters: This light marks a section of Lake Superior, aiding navigation east of Edward Island and toward the approach to Silver Islet. Its recognition as a Heritage Lighthouse in 2023 highlights its cultural value and the conservation work undertaken by Canadian Lighthouses of Lake Superior.
