Battle Island Light is a lighthouse on Ontario’s Canadian shore of Lake Superior, positioned on the western point of Battle Island east-northeast of Lamb Island Light. Built as a white light visible for 18 miles in clear weather, it used distinctive light and sound signals, including a repeating flash pattern, a lower-strength eclipsing light, and a fog diaphone with a set sounding cycle. Rebuilt in 1915–16 as traffic increased on this part of Lake Superior, especially from wood pulp carriers and commercial fishing boats, it remained part of the chain of navigation aids marking the Canadian shoreline.
