Long Point Lighthouse, outside Crow Head on North Twillingate Island off Newfoundland’s northeast coast, was completed in 1876 and has long guided the coast as a prominent landmark closely connected to Twillingate’s history. Still an active light, it also draws thousands of visitors each year as one of the area’s best-known historic sites. Its history is bound up with generations of keepers, beginning with Samuel Roberts, who served from 1875 to 1893, followed by other Roberts family members and later William Freeman, Edgar Sharpe, Allan Roberts, Barry Porter, and Jack May. Their service reflects the enduring human story behind this working lighthouse.
