Point Atkinson Lighthouse

About

Point Atkinson Lighthouse is a lighthouse erected on Point Atkinson, a headland in West Vancouver, British Columbia named after Captain George Vancouver in 1792, when he was exploring the Pacific Northwest in the ship Discovery. The first wooden lighthouse went into service in 1875 and was replaced by a reinforced concrete structure in 1914.
