Summary[edit]
| Description |
The lighthouse is located at Le Village Historique Acadien, moved from Abbotts Harbour. This lighthouse was built on the mainland at Abbotts Harbour in 1922, to replace the previous system of a lantern hoisted on a mast which was located on Abbotts Island. The lighthouse is a tapered square timber building 30 feet (9.1m) high. This design is typical of small harbour lighthouses. When the Department of Fisheries and Oceans sought to pass the lighthouse over to the community, they discovered that it had been built in the wrong place, on private land. A solution for this dilemma was sought. On Thursday, June 24, 2004, it was cut in three pieces and moved on a flatbed truck from Abbott's Harbour Road, Lobster Bay, to "Le Village Historique Acadien" in West Pubnico. Transfer of ownership was done to Le Village and moving the lighthouse was an excellent way to ensure its preservation. Location: Was on the east side, entrance to Abbotts Harbour. Moved to "Le Village Historique Acadien" in the town of West Pubnico, June, 2004 Standing: This light is still standing. Operating: This light is no longer operating. Decommissioned: This light has been decommissioned. Began: 1922 Year Lit: 1922 Structure Type: Tapered square wood tower, white Light Characteristic: Fixed Green (1992) Tower Height: 031ft feet high. |
