                      Rose Blanche Lighthouse

                      Picture
                      Built in 1871 from a nearby granite quarry, this lighthouse is the last remaining granite lighthouse in Canada.  Fully restored in 1999, and furnished with 19th century reproduced furniture and local antiques, this lighthouse is a must-see for all lighthouse enthusiasts. One remarkable feature is the stone steps within the tower walls which kept the tower from collapsing after it was abandoned. The light on display now, a gift from the Canadian Coast Guard, is a 6th order Fresnel lens and is believed to be one of only 27 in existence.
