Anderson Hollow Lighthouse, Harvey, New Brunswick







Photos taken in Sept. 2009. The lighthouse is located near Harvey, New Brunswick. The plaque near the lighthouse reads: "This lighthouse is affectionally known as the 'Travelling Lighthouse' as it has been rebuilt or moved from place to place perhaps six times. The light was first established at the end of the Anderson Hollow Wharf at Waterside in 1889. After being repeatedly damaged by storms it was rebuilt on the shore in 1903. As the wharf declined in importance the lighthouse was placed in the yard of a nearby home. Later Albert County Heritage Trust moved it to Riverside-Albert and finally to its present site."

Distant Views - Scarlett Point and Triple Island, B.C.




On a cruise to Alaska, I was able to take a couple of distant shots of two of British Columbia's manned lighthouses. The one on the right is the Scarlett Point Lighthouse, which is on Balaklava Island, North West of Port Hardy, B.C. (Northern Vancouver Island). The one on the left is the Triple Island Lighthouse which is in Brown's Passage, twenty five miles West of Prince Rupert, B.C. Hopefully one day I can get closer shots of these two stations.
