This list was compiled by Michel Forand of Ottawa. Thank you, again!
This list is primarily based on Canadian Coast Guard, List of Lights, Buoys and Fog Signals: Atlantic Coast, Ottawa, 1995. It has been divided into four geographical areas (one for each of the coasts of Prince Edward Island), and the light towers are divided into three types: enclosed lighthouses, range lights (both enclosed and "skeleton"), and other skeleton towers. For each light, the following information is provided, when available:
1) Name/Location of lighthouse; 2) Date of establishment; 3) Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) and international (Int.) numbers; 4) Tower colour, shape and type, with description of the daymarks; 5) Height of tower above the ground and focal height of light above the water (both
measurements in metres); 6) Range (in nautical miles); 7) Colour of light; unless indicated otherwise (i.e., fl = flashing), all lights are fixed.
