Cape Tryon Light, Heritage lighthouse in Queens County, Canada
The Cape Tryon Light stands 12.4 meters tall on red sandstone cliffs, featuring a white square pyramidal structure with red trim and lantern room.
The original lighthouse began operations in 1905 under keeper Captain William Bell, equipped with a seventh-order white light visible from 16 miles away.
Lucy Maud Montgomery incorporated elements of Cape Tryon Light into her 1909 novel 'Anne's House of Dreams', connecting literature with maritime heritage.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by following Highway 20 from New London and turning right on Cousins Shore Road, though the grounds remain private.
The lighthouse received a French-manufactured fourth-order Fresnel lens in 1906, produced by Barbier, Benard & Turenne to create specific flash patterns.
