About Louisbourg Range Rear Lighthouse
This skeletal steel mast stands 6.5 meters tall and serves as the rear light for a range system guiding vessels in the Louisbourg area. Its focal height is 12.5 meters, and it displays a geographic range of 11.2 nautical miles. The structure is painted white with a red vertical stripe, and the mast carries a matching daymark. Located within the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Park, the site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Louisbourg, 1.1 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This rear range light, paired with its front counterpart, is essential for vessels navigating specific approach channels into Louisbourg harbor, helping them avoid shoals and rocky outcrops along the Nova Scotia coast.
