About

The Gannet Rock Lighthouse is a Canadian lighthouse located on a rocky islet, named Menaskook by the Passamaquoddy, 8 miles (13 km) south of Grand Manan in the Bay of Fundy. It was first lit in 1831 and was staffed until 1996. It was solarized in 2002 and remains operational in 2023. It was declared "surplus to requirements" by the Canadian Coast Guard in 2010 and is no longer being maintained.
