 Miscou Island lighthouse was among the last in Atlantic Canada to lose its light keeper. It still has its own keeper of the memories. Daughter of the last light keeper is a tour guide and an unofficial historian of this wooden sentinel. The very last light keeper in Canada also lives in New Brunswick on Machais Seal Island in the Bay of Fundy. The two rocks that make up the island are also a birdwatcher’s paradise and the reason behind a diplomatic squabble between the U.S. and Canada who both claim the sovereignty over the island. The issue of sovereignty is the main reason for the Canadian presence on the island. You can read more about it here. The web site has stories on most of the New Brunswick lighthouses. | |
