Fisgard Lighthouse

Posted by Geoff Stickle (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) on 23 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

Built by the British in 1860, when Vancouver Island was not yet part of Canada, Fisgard's red brick house and white tower has stood faithfully at the entrance to Esquimalt harbour. Once a beacon for the British Royal Navy's Pacific Squadron, today Fisgard still marks home base for the Royal Canadian Navy.
