Back in the Great Lakes region for this week's lighthouse, which is at the eastern end of Lake Ontario. There's both a Main Duck and False Duck Island in that area, which both have lighthouses.
Maybe next week I'll take a look at the lighthouse on False Duck Island, but this week, it's the Main Duck.
Here is the location of that lighthouse, zoomed way way out for geographical navigation.
The Lighthouse Directory tells us the following about it:
"1914. Active; focal plane 23.5 m (77 ft); white flash every 6 s. 24.5 m (80 ft) octagonal concrete tower with lantern and gallery, painted white; lantern and gallery are red. Abandoned fog signal building and other structures in poor condition. ... Owned by U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles from 1941 to 1959, the island has been owned by Parks Canada since 1977 and was added to Thousand Islands National Park in 1998. Located at the western end of the island."
