| Description |
Chebucto Head has had four lighthouses and several keeper's houses. The first lighthouse at Chebucto Head, was built in 1872. Nova Scotia, Canada A wartime lighthouse (the 3rd) had to be constructed when the large Chebucto Head gun battery occupied the site. At this time a lighthouse at the head was needed more than ever before to help guide the enormous number of convoy vessels in and out of Halifax Harbour. As a lighthouse built to safeguard the movement of Battle of the Atlantic Convoys, this building is directly associated with an important national event in Canadian history. The lighthouse today (4th) is a very popular destination for weekend hikers, berry pickers, shipwreck divers and people who drive there for the view of the ocean, storms, passing ships and whales. As such it has a popular landmark status. Lighthouse Location: 1/2 mile north of Chebucto Head, west entrance to Halifax Harbour Lighthouse Structure: Octagonal concrete tower, red aluminum lantern The lighthouse was built and first lit in 1967. Tower height: 045ft feet. Light height: 062ft feet. Light range: 16 miles. Light characteristic: Flashing White (20sec). Light automated (destaffed): 1980 |
