Colchester County Lighthouses
(Bass River & Five Islands)

Filmed over two days in Autumn 2015, experience Colchester County's two gorgeous lighthouses: Bass River and Five Islands.

 

Bass River Lighthouse: Built in 1907 on the point at the western side of the entrance to the Bass River, the light was the easternmost beacon on Cobequid Bay in the Bay of Fundy.  Deactivated in 1992 and sold in 1994, a single-story dwelling was built onto the base of the lighthouse.

 

Five Islands Lighthouse: Built in 1914, the lighthouse has been moved several times to escape land erosion and as a result of a loan default.  It was discontinued by the Coast Guard in 1993.  The lighthouse made its final move in late 2008 to a fifteen-acre parcel of land in Colchester County.
