Description

PLEASE, NO invitations, graphics 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.

The red bell buoy at Five Islands Lighthouse Park is a Starboard Hand Buoy (they are always red). The buoy was used in the Bay of Fundy, but the exact location is not known. The buoy has a round, riveted hull. The buoy light is an acetylene gas lantern with a red Fresnel lens. (The light might not have been original to this buoy.)

Canadian Coast Guard considered the buoy scrap/surplus and loaned it to Five Islands Lighthouse Preservation Society in 2014 for public display at the park. The Municipality of Colchester owns Five Islands Lighthouse Park and is now the steward of the buoy.

The buoy was received in the summer of 2014. It was sandblasted and painted then installed at the park in September 2014.
