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 t,o 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. All 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 spar buoys.

The tower was automated in 1988 and was damaged beyond repair by a collision with the oil tanker Aegeo in October, 1996. The structure was then demolished and replaced with a small light tower/platform.

This stretch of 125-mile-long Lake Champlain is quite narrow, averaging only two miles in width. Barber’s Point was thus a logical place for a ferry, and records indicate that Hezekiah Barber operated one that crossed Lake Champlain between Barber’s Point, NY and Arnold Bay (Panton), VT. The geography at Barber’s Point also made it a prime candidate for a lighthouse.
