Gagetown Lighthouse, New Brunswick Canada at Lighthousefriends.com

	Gagetown, NB

Description: The present Gagetown Lighthouse is one of several that have been built on this site since 1895; previous towers all succumbed to ice during various spring thaws. This historic tower was destroyed by ice in April of 1934. The current design with its open supportive stilts has helped the lifespan of this lighthouse.
The lantern room is still equipped with a Chance Brothers seventh-order drum dioptric, a lens built specifically for use in Canada according to Mr. Kenneth Sutton-Jones, formerly of Chance Brothers Ltd.
