Flowerpot Island Lighthouse - Ontario Canada

The lighthouse .....

The Flowerpot Island Lighthouse, located in Fathom Five National Marine Park near Tobermory, Ontario, stands as a beacon of maritime history and natural beauty. Originally built in 1897, the lighthouse was constructed to guide ships through the rocky waters of Georgian Bay, a key route for Great Lakes shipping. The current structure, erected in 1969, replaced the original wooden tower and continues to operate as an active aid to navigation. ​
