I'm saving up my time in the southern New Brunswick area for a very famous lighthouse in the region. So this one is less famous (and also inactive).
It's called the Bliss Island lighthouse, and luckily, it's on Bliss Island. So this is where that is. You can zoom out to see where it is with respect to the U.S. / Canada border, and also St. John, New Brunswick.
This is what the Lighthouse Directory says about it.
"1964 (station established 1871). Inactive since 2016. 12 m (38 ft) square cylindrical concrete tower with lantern and gallery, rising from one corner of a 1-story concrete fog signal building. ... The active light (focal plane 12.5 m (41 ft); red flash every 4 s) is now on a 7.5 m (25 ft) square skeletal tower next to the historic lighthouse. Located on the southwest point of the island in the entrance to Bliss Harbour."
Here are three pictures of the Bliss Island lighthouse. I think the only recent one, with the skeletal tower described above, is the second one.
