1912Open since 1912. That's 114 years. Owned and run by the Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society.
Our take
The 137 deaths in the 1906 wreck of the SS Valencia pushed Ottawa to build 12 more lights on this coast, and Sheringham Point was lit in September 1912. The 12.5 metre hexagonal tower was designed by William P. Anderson. A volunteer society now owns the site and has been restoring it in phases. The land is the traditional territory of the T’Sou-ke and Pacheedaht First Nations, whose territories met at the point.
