The Bayswater Lighthouse was built in 1913 and remains deactivated as of 2005. It sits on the west side of Milkish Creek, which is located on the lower Saint John River. It stands 8.8 meters tall (26 feet) and was one of the 21 operating lighthouses alongside the Saint John River.
The Bayswater Lighthouse is located in Bayswater, NB, and it is located near the channel of Milkish Creek. It is one of 21 operating lighthouses that guided the St. John River system. It outlooks Sea Dog Cove and it provided guidance to the ferry that traveled between Bayswater and Milledgeville, up to the 1950’s.
It has the typical “pepper pot” design and a coved cornice tower. It was painted in red and white which were the colours of the Canadian Coast Guard. Thanks to its utilitarian design, it was cheap to build and easy to maintain for the local lightkeeper.
