CAPE MUDGE LIGHTHOUSE c. 1916

            Quadra Island, BC Canada

Cape Mudge Lighthouse is located on Quadra Island which is off Campbell River, on the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Cape Mudge was named by Captain Vancouver in 1792 after Zachary Mudge who served on HMS Discovery, and in 1796 on HMS Providence in this area. 

From 1936 to 1985, the Cape Mudge Lighthouse was part of the British Columbia Shore Station Oceanographic Program, collecting coastal water temperature and salinity measurements for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans everyday for 49 years.

Cape Mudge Lighthouse on Quadra Island of the Discovery Islands, BC, Canada is located on the south-western tip of the island so to protect and mark the entrance to the Discovery Passage.

A wooden lighthouse was built in 1898 because of the mounting number of shipwrecks entering the Discovery Passage during the Klondike Gold Rush as miners headed north seeking riches. In 1916 the current 42 ft. high lighthouse was constructed.

Today Cape Mudge Lighthouse is automated like many of the lighthouses in BC, Canada now.
