Grand Harbour Lighthouse, Maritime navigation structure on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, Canada

The lighthouse features a square wooden tower measuring thirty-two feet in height, incorporating an attached dwelling unit for the keeper's residence.

Constructed in 1879 following Sadie McDowell's campaign, the lighthouse served maritime traffic until 1963 when operations moved to Ingalls Head Breakwater.

Multiple lighthouse keepers, starting with Henry McLaughlin, maintained this important navigation aid while living on-site with their families.

Located at coordinates 44.666889, -66.749167, the structure displayed a fixed-white light visible from eleven miles at a forty-foot focal plane.

The structure met its end during a strong gale on November 19, 2013, after being named North America's Most Endangered Lighthouse in 1999.

Location: New Brunswick
