Belle Isle Northeast Light

Belle Isle Northeast Light is a twenty-seven-metre lighthouse on Belle Isle in Newfoundland and Labrador and one of three lighthouses on the island. Built in 1905, it has a distinctive twelve-sided flying buttress tower designed by William P. Anderson, part of a small Canadian series of nine buttressed lighthouses built around 1910. Its light gives a white flash every eleven seconds from a focal plane forty-two metres above sea level, and in fog it can sound a single blast every thirty seconds. The station is also unusual because the Canadian government maintained it before Newfoundland joined Confederation in 1949.
