M LIST OF LIGHTS AND FOG-SIGNALS
ON THE
COASTS, RIVERS AND LAKES
0F THE
DOMINION OF CANADA
UNDER THE CHARGE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MARINE AND FISHERIES.
The Lights in the Bay of Fundy and on the southern and eastern coasts of Nova Scotia, those required for the winter passage of either steamers or ice boats to Prince Edward Island, and all the Lights in British Columbia, are exhibited all the year round.
All other lights under the control of the Department of Marine and Fisheries are maintained in opera- tion whenever the navigation in the vicinity is open. Lights used solely as harbour lights are not exhibited when the harbour is closed, although the general ,navigation may remain open. Fishing lights are main- tained only during the fishing season. In any case where there is reasonable doubt whether the light is required it is kept in operation.
All the Lightships in the River St. Lawrence below Quebec leave Quebec each spring for their stations as early as ice will permit. The Red Island and White Island Lightships leave their stations for winter quarters on the 15th November annually.
Ail the Gas Buoys in the River St. Lawrence are set out as soon as possible after the llth May each spring, and taken up as soon as convenient after the 10th November each autumn, when they are replaced by wooden can buoys. All Buoys in the River St. Lawrence below Quebec are removed after the 14th November, excepting those replacing the Gas Buoys at each end of the Beaujeu Bank and at the Channel Patch, one at the west end of Middle Bank, and one at St. Roch, East Point, in the Traverse, which are left when possible until the last ocean vessel has passed out.

EXAMPLE.-A Light 100 feet above the water will be visible to an observer whose eye is elevated 15 eet above the water 15'9 nautical miles ; thus, from the table :— 15 feet elevation, distance visible, 444 nautical miles. 100 " 11'47 15'91 ABBREVIATIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
Lights
F. Fixed. A continuous steady light. In catoptric lights the intensity may vary, depending on the position of the mariner with reference to the axis of the reflectors. FL. Flashing. Showing single flashes. Gr. FL. Group Flashing. Showing groups of two or more flashes in succession (not necessarily of the same colour) separated by eclipses, followed by a longer eclipse. F. & FL. Fixed and Flashing. Fixed light, varied by single white or coloured flashes, which may be pre- ceded and followed by short eclipses. • REV. Revolving. Light gradually increasing to full effect, then decreasing to eclipse. (At short distances and in clear weather a faint continuous light may be observed. As lights of this class are all catoptric they are liable to variations in intensit y during the continuance of the flash as the position of the reflectors changes.) GP. REV. Group Revolving. Showin,g groups of two or more flashes in succession produced by revolving catoptric apparatus, separated by eclipses, followed by a longer eclipse. Occ. Occulting. A steady light suddenly and totally eclipsed. • ALT. Alternating. Red and white light alternately at equal intervals. The time given for a revolving or flash light is from the beginning of one flash to the beginning of the next.
ILLUMINATING APPARATUS.
C. Catoptric, or by metallic reflectors. D. Dioptrie, or by refracting lenses numbered from the first order downwards. Those marked of the 7to order are anchor lenses or anchor lens lanterns of 5 inches focal distance ; those marked " p " ar inferior pressed glass lenses, principally of 34 inches focal distance.
The Beatings are Mag,netie,- and are given from seaward.
The given distances from which the lights are visible are calculated from a height of fifteen feet above the sea, the elevation of the lights being in all cases taken as above high water.
The Geographical Positions of the Lights are Approximate ...-
I• CAUTION-
WITH RESPECT TO LIGHTS
The intrinsic power of a light should always be considered when expecting to make it in thick weather. A weak light is easily obscured by haze, and no dependence can be placed on its being seen. Coloured Lights are also inferior in power to bright or white lights, and are more quickly lost under unfavourable circumstances.
GIJTS OR SECTORS.
In some conditions of the atmosphere, white lights may have a reddish hue. The mariner should not trust solely to colour where there are sectors, but verify the position by taking a bearing of the light. On either side of the line of demarcation, between white and red, and also between white and green, there is always a small arc of uncertain colour.
WITFI RESPECT TO FOG-SIGNALS.
Having in view the varying distances at which a fog-signal can be heard at sea, and the frequent occurrence of fog near to, but not observable from, a fog-signal station- Mariners are cautioned that, whilst they are entitled to assume that every endeavour will be made to start Fog-signals as soon as possible after signs of fog have been observed, they should not, when approaching the land in a fog, rely iraplicitly upon these fog-signals, but should always use the lead, which, in nearly all cases, will give sufficient warning. Mariners are strongly cautioned that they must not judge their distance from a fog-signal by the power of the sound. TJnder certain conditions of the atmosphere the sound may be lost at a very short distance from the station, and these conditions may vary at the same station within very short intervals of time. The expression " foggy weather " means that the state of the atmosphere is such as to make objects indistinct.
ERRORS.
N.B.—It is particularly requested that any errors or omissions noticed in this veork, or any failure in the aids to navigation maybe immediately communi,cated, by letter, to the CHIEF ENGINEER OF MARINE AND FISHERIES, • Ottawa, Canada. Such letters may be mailed post free in Canada.
