Griffith Island (Georgian Bay)

[1] The lighthouse is one of the so-called imperial towers and is 25.9 meters (85 feet) in height.

At first the light was powered by whale oil and later with kerosene.

The keeper was required to polish the reflector, a long and tedious process.

A keeper's house was also built on the site with two-foot thick stone walls, a slate roof and plastered interior.

The light still operates and can be seen for a distance of 27.2 km (17 miles).
