De Watteville Island Range Rear Light

Thanks to Jon Clay for this long-distance photo of the De Watteville Island Range Rear Light on the island in the St. Lawrence River just above Brockville, Ontario. This tower is missing from most listings of Canadian lighthouses. Its design, a steel skeletal tower carrying an enclosed lantern and watch room, is common in Canada. Similar rear range lights are found at several locations on the Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) and on Lake Manitoba.

Thanks to Michel Forand for correctly identifying this light.
