About Man of War Point Lighthouse
Also known as: Man of War Point (relocated)
A square pyramidal wood tower standing 7.5 meters tall, Man of War Point Lighthouse was built and first lit in 1925. The original lantern was removed in 1971. In 2001, the structure was dismantled and relocated 400 meters inland from the coast to private property adjacent to an art gallery. The lighthouse was reassembled in 2001, and its current owners added a replica lantern. It is situated in a forest off Man of War Point Road, south of the point itself, near Boularderie Centre, Nova Scotia.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's relocation inland and the addition of a replica lantern represent a significant private effort to preserve a distinctive local landmark, highlighting community dedication to maritime heritage.
