Description

A seagull was flying on top of Garnish Lighthouse.
The Town of Granish is located on the west coast of the Burin Peninsula on the western shore of Little Garnish Barrasway, a small natural harbour protected from Fortune Bay by a sand bar. A beacon light was established at Garnish by locals in 1874 and was then maintained by the Newfoundland government until after it was completed. The lighthouse was described in 1874 as a square, wooden tower, topped by an octagon (painted red and white) and lantern from which a red light was shown nightly from a height of twenty feet. The discontinued historic lighthouse, which had been removed from the breakwater in the last 1930s or early 1940s, was sold to the town for $1 and has since been renovated and maintained by the Garnish Heritage Society.
