Description
The Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse located in Rimouski, Quebec, Canada was one of the most important navigational aides in Canada. Located along the St. Lawrence estuary, the lighthouse was built in 1859 and is 108 feet tall. The location houses the lighthouse, keeper’s dwelling, assistant keeper’s dwelling and a fog alarm building. The Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse consists of a central octagonal tower made of reinforced concrete, supported by eight concrete flying buttresses that are attached to the tower at each floor level. The lighthouse is 32.9 metres (108 ft.) tall and measures 3.35 metres (11 ft.) in diameter. The tower is surmounted by a gallery with a railing and a traditional cast-iron lantern, which is painted red and houses a 3rd Order dioptric lens.
