| Nova Scotia has an extraordinary length of coastline compared to its area, so it's not surprising that it has a large number of lighthouses, more than 150 of them. This page covers lighthouses of the western coast of the province, facing the Bay of Fundy, which separates southern Nova Scotia from New Brunswick and Maine. Some of the more remote lighthouses are poorly known and no photos are available. Additional information and photos would be welcome. Rip Irwin's book, Lighthouses and Lights of Nova Scotia (Halifax: Nimbus Publishing, 2003) is an essential reference for understanding these lighthouses. Lighthouses in Canada are maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard, a unit of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Notmar numbers are from the Atlantic Coast volume of the List of Lights, Buoys, and Fog Signals of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. Admiralty numbers are from Volume H of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA numbers are from Publication 110. What's Hot: |
