Ile Parisienne Light

Ile Parisienne Light, Lighthouse in Whitefish Bay, Canada.

Ile Parisienne Light is a hexagonal cast-in-place concrete tower on the southern tip of Ile Parisienne in Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior. It has six tapered exterior buttresses, a gable-roofed entrance, small windows, and a ten-sided red lantern topped by a beaver weathervane.

The light station was established in 1911 at the southern tip of Ile Parisienne, after construction of the Soo Locks increased shipping traffic on the upper Great Lakes and created a need for navigational aids on the lane to and from the locks. It was listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places in 1991 as a Recognized Federal Heritage building for its historical associations and its architectural and environmental values. The station is owned by the Canadian Coast Guard.

The tower was listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places in 1991 as a Recognized Federal Heritage building, cited for its historical associations and its architectural and environmental values. It is owned by the Canadian Coast Guard, and a petition was filed by 29 May 2015 to have it designated a Heritage Lighthouse of Canada.

The lighthouse remains closed to the public as it operates with automated solar-powered systems in an active shipping corridor with heavy traffic. The best views are from the water or nearby vantage points along the shoreline.

The light's red ten-sided lantern is topped by a beaver weathervane, a detail most boaters pass without noticing. The station's isolated posting proved fatal in April 1922, when the buoy tender Lambton vanished in a northeast gale on Whitefish Bay with keeper John Douglas, assistant John Kay and 19 others aboard.
