Point Prim Light Station, Heritage lighthouse in Belfast, Prince Edward Island, Canada
The Point Prim Light Station stands 18.5 meters tall with a white cylindrical brick tower, featuring a balcony and lantern at the top.
The lighthouse began operations in December 1845 after shipowners petitioned for a navigational aid at the entrance of Charlottetown Harbour.
The Point Prim Light Station represents traditional maritime navigation methods with thirteen keepers maintaining its operations from 1845 until automation in 1969.
Visitors can access the lighthouse tower from late June through early September, with admission fees supporting the maintenance of the structure.
The Point Prim Light Station remains one of only two circular brick lighthouses in Canada, with the other being Fisgard Lighthouse in British Columbia.
