Pachena Point Lighthouse

The last original wood lighthouse tower on Canada's west coast, this light is also still maintained by a light keeper. The lighthouse was constructed in 1907 after the wreck of the Valencia, and was first lit in May 1908. The glass lens, 3 m tall, 2.5 m wide and weighing 400 kg was brought by boat around Cape Horn. The 1000-watt bulb puts out four million candlepower and is visible from Washington State's Olympic Peninsula.
