Summary[edit]
| Description |
Bordens Wharf Lighthouse. This lighthouse was build through the efforts of Sir Frederick Borden, a federal cabinet minister from Canning and cousin of Prime Minister Robert Borden, following the wreck of the SS Edward Everett, a coastal steamship, on the river's bank in 1893. Two 8.3m (27ft) tapered white lighthouses were constructed for Canning in 1904. One was at Porter Point, marking the mouth of the Habitant River which leads to Canning. The second was the Borden Wharf lighthouse which marked a sharp bend in the Habitant River half way up to Canning. The Porter Point light was decommissioned and demolished. The Borden Wharf light was decommissioned in 1921 and sat abandoned until 1959 when the lower part was moved to a near-by farm to use as a pig shed. The Village of Canning acquired it in 1995, moved it 2 kilometres (1.25mi) upriver and used it as tourism bureau. In 2003, the Fieldwood Heritage Society moved it to the Canning waterfront. |
