Gannet Rock Lighthouse, Lighthouse on rocky islet near Grand Manan Island, Canada
The octagonal wooden tower features vertical black and white stripes, a concrete base, and a metal lantern crowning its flared top.
Built in 1831 following concerns about dangerous shoals, this lighthouse guided ships through the Bay of Fundy with its original red glass lantern.
The lighthouse bears witness to maritime navigation history through detailed journals of keeper Walter McLaughlin, documenting life at this remote station.
Solar powered since 2002, the lighthouse continues operating despite being declared surplus by the Canadian Coast Guard in 2010.
During World War I, keeper Allen Wilson provided shelter to the crew of Dornfontein, a schooner attacked by a German submarine.
