Notes:
This tower has been gradually crumbling since it was discontinued and abandoned in 1959. According to a visitor to this site, the Canadian Coast Guard tried to pull the tower over sometime after 1959, causing much of the damage that can be seen today. Besides the remains of the tower, only two walls of the keeper's dwelling remain. An active skeleton tower stands close by.
