Port Burwell Marine Museum and Historic Lighthouse, Maritime museum and lighthouse near Lake Erie in Port Burwell, Canada.
The lighthouse features a white octagonal wooden tower reaching 13.7 meters in height with a red lantern at the summit near Lake Erie.
Constructed in 1840 at the mouth of Big Otter Creek, the lighthouse guided vessels through Lake Erie until its deactivation in 1963.
The museum exhibits chronicle the maritime traditions of Port Burwell through collections of navigation tools, photographs, and model ships from the 19th century.
The museum maintains regular summer operating hours and offers guided tours of both the lighthouse tower and marine artifact exhibitions.
The facility houses the most precise model of the Ashtabula ferry, which transported coal between Ontario and Ohio until the 1950s.
