Point Amour Lighthouse, located on the northwest coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, is the tallest lighthouse in Atlantic Canada at 33 metres and the second tallest in Canada, with a breathtaking view of the Atlantic coast. If you are happy enough, you can see the huge pale blue glaciers floating in the sea and the whales spouting jets of water into the air. There are also famous historical sites, and within a short walk you can see the wreck of the HMS Raleigh, a huge ship that once sailed the seas as the flagship of the Royal Navy's most advanced fleet, but was tragically stranded in the mist in 1922. For nearly a century and a half it has been a major part of the life of the people in Southern Labrador. The lighthouse has been partially restored to its original construction and is designated as a Provincial Historic Site. Within this historic structure is an extensive series of exhibits depicting the rich maritime history of the Labrador Channel. Today, the lighthouse stands as a tribute to the eventful year in which it played an important role. Cape Amur is also a symbol of our maritime heritage and a history that has always been associated with the sea.
