About Mousseau Range Front Lighthouse
Established in 1914, this square concrete pier structure supports a lantern room with a pyramidal roof, resting on four iron legs. It stands 6 meters tall and was built with concrete, iron, and wood. The Mousseau Range Front light is located on the west side of the north end of Île Bouchard, near Saint-Sulpice. Its active service concluded in 1996, and while the site is open, the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port, Contrecoeur, is 2.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This range front light provided a precise alignment point to guide ships through a specific waterway. Its endangered status highlights the vulnerability of historical maritime structures.
