Ile Parisienne Light, Lighthouse in Whitefish Bay, Canada.
The hexagonal concrete lighthouse stands 54 feet tall on the southwest end of Ile Parisienne, featuring a distinctive ten-sided red lantern and beaver weathervane.
Built in 1911, the lighthouse guided vessels through treacherous waters of Lake Superior toward the Soo Locks, supporting maritime transportation and commerce.
The lighthouse received recognition as a Federal Heritage building in 1991, marking its importance in Ontario's maritime navigation history.
While the lighthouse remains active with solar-powered automated systems, the structure remains closed to visitors due to heavy shipping traffic.
Three bodies from the John Owen shipwreck washed ashore at Ile Parisienne in July 1920 and were buried on the island.
