Chantry Island Lightstation Tower, Stone lighthouse on Chantry Island, Saugeen Shores, Canada
The stone lighthouse measures 26 meters high and features a twelve-sided polygonal lantern with a second-order Fresnel lens that produces white flashes.
Constructed between 1855 and 1859 by John Brown, the lighthouse guided vessels through hazardous underwater granite boulder formations in Lake Huron.
William McGregor Lambert, the son of the first keeper, established one of the first marine museums on the Great Lakes at this location.
The Marine Heritage Society conducts guided tours to the lighthouse during permitted months, as Chantry Island maintains status as a Federal Migratory Bird Sanctuary.
The lighthouse belongs to a group of six Imperial Towers on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay built with cut limestone and granite rather than brick.
