PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. This is the Rear Range Light that was built in 1963, there were two range lights but this is the only one still standing. The Front Range Light, was replaced by a skeleton tower in 1991. This light is on top of a small hill on the Cape Breton side of the Canso Causeway, and beside the Canso Canal. This is the only lighthouse located in a cemetery in Canada, and probably the world, making it very unique. This area contains six headstones for seven people. The oldest headstone is for Douce Elizabeth Belhache aged 6 years and 8 months who died on July 23, 1795. Other early settlers buried there are James and Christena Skinner, Angus and Jane Grant, Charles Fox and his daughter Mary. She died in 1880 and was the last person buried on the piece of land beside the Causeway known both as Belhache Point and MacMillan’s Point. Background is the Canso Canal Bridge, a swing bridge. The bridge is a rotating swing bridge that crosses the Canso Canal at the eastern end of the Canso Causeway. The bridge carries the 2 traffic lanes of Highway 104 (the Trans-Canada Highway) as well as a single track railway line operated by the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway (CBNS). The bridge is a 94 m (308 ft) long swing bridge of a truss design which carries the Trans-Canada Highway road and railway line across the canal immediately south of the southern end of the canal's single lock. |
