Estevan Point lighthouse, Heritage lighthouse on Hesquiat Peninsula, Vancouver Island, Canada.
The white octagonal concrete tower rises 30.5 meters high, featuring eight reinforced buttresses and a red circular metal lantern at the top.
The lighthouse began operations in 1910 as part of a series of maritime navigation structures built along British Columbia's coast following numerous shipwrecks.
The structure maintains deep connections with the Hesquiat First Nation people and represents the maritime legacy of Vancouver Island's western shores.
The lighthouse signals ships with a double flash every 15 seconds, guiding vessels approaching Juan de Fuca Strait toward ports in Vancouver, Seattle, and Victoria.
In 1942, a Japanese submarine fired 25 shells at the lighthouse during World War II, marking the first enemy attack on Canadian soil since 1866.
