Chrome Island lighthouse, Lighthouse in Baynes Sound, Canada
Chrome Island Lighthouse features a white fiberglass tower with a red lantern, standing 7.5 meters tall at the southern entrance of Baynes Sound.
The lighthouse began operations on January 1, 1891, after the Department of Marine completed construction following contractor J.A. Brittancourt's failure to meet specifications.
Ancient petroglyphs carved into the island's sandstone represent the historical presence of the Pentlatch tribe who inhabited this region.
The lighthouse maintains a five-second flash pattern and includes both a helicopter landing deck and rescue boat for emergency operations.
The station collects water temperature and salinity measurements for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans since 1961 through the British Columbia Shore Station Program.
