Georges Island Lighthouse

Georges Island Lighthouse – Halifax harbour

Georges Island Lighthouse is a prominent concrete lighthouse, built in 1917 on Georges Island in Nova Scotia, replacing an earlier tower built in 1876. The light-keeper’s house remains standing a few hundred feet to the north.

The lighthouse was automated in 1972, and in 2005, the foghorn was decommissioned. The lighthouse is operated by the Canadian Coast Guard.
