Tignish Shore, Prince Edward Island

Built: 1881

Decommissioned: 1997

This 9 meters (30 feet) tall square pyramidal wood tower was moved from the wharf of the nearby food packaging plant to Fisherman's Haven Park at the end of Tignish Shore Road in September of 2008. It has been restored (the lantern was set in place in July of 2009, just prior to our visit) and is the centerpiece of the park. A broad black horizontal band is being added. This light was also known as the Jude's Point Rear Range Light.
