About Pointe Saint-Pierre Range Rear Lighthouse

The Pointe Saint-Pierre Range Rear light is a square skeletal tower constructed of metal. It stands 12.5 meters tall with a focal height of 13 meters. The tower is painted orange and features a black vertical stripe. This light is part of a range system, designed to work with a front range light to provide a specific visual alignment. When viewed as a single vertical line, this alignment indicates the correct and safe course for vessels. Its geographic range extends to 11.3 nautical miles.

Why it matters: This rear range light is indispensable for safe navigation by defining a precise course when aligned with the front light, preventing vessels from straying into dangerous shoals or off the designated shipping lane.
