About Batiscan Range Rear Lighthouse
The Batiscan Range Rear light is a square skeletal mast standing 17 meters tall, carrying an orange slatted daymark with a vertical black stripe. Its focal plane is 22 meters above water. This light exhibits a continuous green signal, designed to be visible only when mariners are on the correct range line. The current structure was built in 1908, replacing an earlier square wooden tower. It continues to operate, guiding vessels northeast of Batiscan along the river's north shore.
Why it matters: This range light is critical for guiding vessels navigating the river, particularly as it marks a specific alignment for safe passage. Its evolution from an earlier wooden tower highlights its enduring necessity for riverine commerce and safety.
