Low Point Lighthouse, Federal heritage lighthouse in New Victoria, Canada
The white octagonal concrete tower rises 22 meters above Sydney Harbour, featuring a red iron lantern and serving as a navigation point.
Built in 1832 as a wooden structure, the lighthouse underwent major reconstruction in 1938, transforming into the concrete tower that stands today.
The lighthouse represents maritime navigation heritage through its Chance Brothers circular lantern, one of the remaining examples in Nova Scotia.
The lighthouse marks the eastern entrance to Sydney Harbour, guiding vessels daily including regular ferry services between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
Coastal erosion threatens the structure's foundation, leading to continuous protection efforts and community-driven preservation initiatives since 2013.
