About Sheet Harbour Passage Range Front Lighthouse
Constructed in 1915, this square pyramidal wood tower stands 8 meters high at Sheet Harbour Passage, Nova Scotia. It was first illuminated that same year. The structure is painted white, featuring a red vertical stripe aligned with the range line, and its lantern is also red. The focal plane sits 37 meters above the water. This light previously provided a geographic range of 19 nautical miles, displaying a white flashing light, characteristic F.W. 52. Operations ceased in 2024, rendering it inactive. While the site is accessible, the tower is not open to visitors.
Why it matters: This range front light marked the correct approach into Sheet Harbour Passage. Its specific paint scheme and light pattern offered a direct reference for vessels navigating the waterway.
