Chrome Island lighthouse

Chrome Island lighthouse, Lighthouse in Baynes Sound, Canada

Chrome Island Lighthouse is a white cylindrical tower with a red gallery and lantern, 7.5 metres tall, built in 1989. It stands on a small island off Boyle Point, the southern tip of Denman Island, about 1.5 km east of Deep Bay in the Strait of Georgia. The station includes a one-storey staffed building and utility structures.

The first light, a square wooden tower attached to the keeper's house, was established in 1891. A pair of range lights was added in 1898, and in 1922 a steel-frame tower with gallery and lantern replaced the original structure. The present 7.5-metre cylindrical tower dates from 1989.

The station's name comes from Chrome Island, the small islet off Boyle Point where the light stands. Keepers have lived on the island since 1891, and the light is still staffed; the Canadian Coast Guard has considered automating it in recent years. Roger Williamson has been keeper since 2007.

The station sits on a small island off Boyle Point, the southern tip of Denman Island, about 1.5 km east of Deep Bay in the Strait of Georgia. It is reached only by boat; the station itself has a helicopter landing deck and a rescue boat. Approach by water and time the crossing with the weather.

The station has been collecting water temperature and salinity data since 1961 for research purposes. These measurements form part of a long-term monitoring program for the region's coastal waters.
