My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.A collection of dangerous ledges and rocks, known as the Ragged Islands, guard the entrance to Lockeport Harbour. Ship owners of Shelburne County requested a light to mark these dangers and guide ships into the harbour, the government approved funds for a lighthouse on Gull Rock, a wave-swept ledge, 100 meters (328ft) by 38 meters (125ft).The original lighthouse built in 1853 was of a square tapered wooden tower with a dwelling in its lower section.The present lighthouse was built around 1955 and features a square tower on a two storey keepers house.In 1986 athenite was sprayed on the exterior, increasing the thickness of its reinforced concrete walls. Gull Rock Lighthouse was de-staffed in 1987, and the fog-alarm building, workshop, and boathouse were all removed. Currently all that remains is the lighthouse, a couple of oil tanks, the helicopter pad and walkway to it.Location: Entrance to Lockeport Harbour, 1.5 miles off shoreBegan and Lit: 1955Still operating: TrueStructure Type: Square wood and concrete dwelling, red lantern on top Tower Height: 11.89 meters (39ft)Light Height: 17.07 meters (56ft) above water level |
