Wood Islands Lighthouse
Wood Islands Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Wood Islands, Canada
The Wood Islands Lighthouse consists of a three-story tower with a white exterior and a red iron lantern, connected to a keeper's residence.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1874 with a budget of 6,000 Canadian dollars, and operations commenced on November 1, 1876.
The lighthouse museum contains period rooms displaying maritime artifacts, traditional furniture, and exhibits about Prince Edward Island's fishing and navigation history.
Visitors can access the observation deck at the top of the 16.5-meter tower for views of Northumberland Strait and Wood Islands harbor.
In 2009, engineers moved the entire lighthouse structure 70 meters inland due to coastal erosion threatening its original location.
