Entrance Island Lighthouse - a photo on Flickriver

            Entrance Island 
Vancouver Island British Columbia
Canada

The Entrance Island Lighthouse stands on Entrance Island, a rocky islet along the Inside Passage in the Strait of Georgia. It is a round “apple core” reinforced-concrete tower, measuring 12.8 metres (42 feet). The lighthouse guides mariners into the entrance of Nanaimo Harbour.
Originally established in 1876, the Entrance Island Lighthouse was built during the second phase of lighthouse construction on British Columbia’s coast, which focussed on lighting major harbour entrances. Built-in 1971, the current lighthouse is an example of the modernisation and evolution of Canadian aids to navigation in the second half of the 20th century.
By the mid-19th century, several industries were flourishing in British Columbia, with coal mining at the forefront in the Nanaimo region. Safeguarding the entrance to the harbour, which was notorious for both fog and the dangerous Gabriola Reef, would protect the region’s shipping interests. By 1876, the original lighthouse went into service and would serve the area for almost 100 years, when it was replaced with the current tower. Today, pulp and paper manufacturing has replaced mining as the primary industry in the region, though commercial fishing vessels, sport fishing tours, recreational boaters, and the occasional cruise ship use the Entrance Island Lighthouse as a landmark.
