About This Item

Beacon, the lighthouse

The earliest lighthouses were simply bonfires built on hillsides to guide ships. The first light served the old world city of Alexandria in 285 B.C. The first lighthouse in North America was on Little Brewster Island in the outer harbor of Boston. First lit in 1716, it was damaged during the American Revolution and subsequently rebuilt (1783).
The second-oldest lighthouse on the continent, and the first Canadian one, went into service at the French fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton island in 1734. The beacon at Louisbourg was destroyed by British troops during the seige of 1758, and not rebuilt until 1842; the rubble of the original lighthouse is still visible at the base of the current Louisbourg lighthouse, which dates from 1924.
