About Sainte-Anne-de-Sorel Range Rear Lighthouse

This skeletal steel tower, built in 2019 and first lit in 2020, stands 24 meters tall with its light at a focal height of 31 meters. It serves as the rear range light, located 770 meters southwest of its front counterpart on the south bank of a river. The structure features a triangular skeletal mast topped with a gallery and a trapezoidal slatted daymark, painted red with a black vertical stripe.
