Drone Flight of Lahave Lighthouse & Fort Point Museum, Nova Scotia, Canada (#NSLighthouseProject)
#NSLighthouseProject: Lahave Lighthouse, at the Fort Point Museum, Lunenburg County.
The Lahave Lighthouse was first built in 1875 and served the area until 1954, when it was demolished & replaced by a skeletal tower.
The early lightkeepers at Fort Point lived in a dwelling attached to the light tower, but in 1940 a separate house was built. This structure remains standing today, and after the creation of the Lunenburg County Historical Society in 1969, it was converted into the Fort Point Museum.
In 1990, a small square pyramidal tower, similar in design to many throughout Nova Scotia, was built in memory of the 1875 La Have Lighthouse. As Fort Point Museum grew, a larger facility was needed, and a more substantial lighthouse, based on the original La Have Lighthouse, was added.
Our video & photos of the beacon were shot in March 2016.
Drone capture of Louisbourg Lighthouse, Nova Scotia, Canada (#NSLighthouseProject)
Filmed on a day when the beacon was shrouded in fog and surrounded by tumultuous waves in May 2016 for our #NSLighthouseProject, experience the coastline, rocky terrain, ocean and lighthouse at Louisbourg, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The lighthouse constructed by the French at Louisbourg was the first established in Canada, and the second on the North American continent. Built near the northeast corner of Cape Breton Island, Louisbourg was the base from which the French planned to hold New France against the English.
Construction began in August of 1731. The circa 70 foot circular tower made of coursed rubble was completed two years later. The first lighting of the lantern was not made until April 1st, 1734.
During the second British seige of Louisbourg, the tower was heavily damaged, particularly so on the evening of June 9, 1758, when British batteries and naval vessels opened a heavy bombardment on Louisbourg. The light was deemed beyond repair and left to disintegrate.
During the 19th century, maritime officials took steps to reduce the many navigational risks and ship wrecks along the Atlantic coast. One of the new lighthouses built was the second for Louisbourg, completed in 1842; however fire destroyed this building in 1922.
The third light at Louisbourg, which is the current beacon, began construction in 1923, and was first lit in 1924; it became automated by 1989.

Drone Flight over Cape d'Or Lighthouse, Nova Scotia, Canada: #NSLighthouseProject
Filmed on a chilly day in March 2016 for our #NSLighthouseProject, experience the cliffs, rocky terrain, ocean and lighthouse at Cape d'Or, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada.
French explorer Samuel de Champlain named Cape d’Or (Cape of Gold) when he sailed by in 1607 and noticed glimmers of gold in the basalt cliffs; though the metal was copper rather than gold, the name stuck.
The first navigational aid on Cape d’Or was not a light, but rather a steam fog whistle, which was established in 1874. The Cape didn’t receive a light until 1922.
The present lighthouse, consisting of a one-story fog signal building with a light tower rising from one corner, was built in 1965, but became automated in 1989.

THE FORTRESS OF LOUISBOURG BY DAY and NIGHT | NOVA SCOTIA
Welcome to the Fortress of Louisbourg in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia! It was founded in 1713 by the French and is the largest reconstructed historic site in North America. Come see what it's like to explore this living museum including becoming a soldier and sleeping overnight in a traditional 18th Century style tent!

Read more about the experience on the blog:
-----------------------------------------------
Located on the southeastern coast of Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Island, the Fortress of Louisbourg was one of the busiest seaports in North America during the mid-18th century. It was built to protect and provide a base for France's lucrative North American fishing industry and also to protect Quebec City from British invasions. But it fell under siege twice to the British before being demolished in the 1760s.
Fast forward to 1961 where the Government of Canada began reconstructing the fortress. Today, one quarter of the fortress has been reconstructed, using some of the original stonework, and includes about 40 buildings over an area of 5 hectares.
The Fortress of Louisbourg is a living museum. Visitors can get a sense of what life was like in the fortress by interacting with individuals living a typical day in the 18th century. Visitors can wander through the streets, step inside houses and shops, and even grab a meal at one of two restaurants. You can also learn about the history of rum and sample the Fortress Rum, aged in barrels on-site.
Daily activities include guided tours, dance performances, military drills and learning what life was like for a soldier. Your time at the Louisbourg Fortress can be as immersive as you want, so naturally, I dove right in and reported for duty.
The most unique aspect of your visit to the Louisbourg Fortress is that your time doesn’t have to end when the gates close at 5pm. You can actually stay overnight in the fortress. One option is sleeping in the Rodrigue House. It’s located right in the heart of the fortress and comes with straw-beds and a roof overhead.
Another option is to sleep in an 18th-century style tent within the walls of the King’s Bastion. Everything is provided for, including sleeping pads and cooking supplies. All you need to bring is a sleeping bag, pillow, and any food you want to eat.
As the last of the day’s visitors made their exit, Tristan and I got settled in to what would be our home for the night.
-----------------------------------------------
Special thank you to Parks Canada for a fantastic visit!
Note: the use of drones is prohibited at the Fortress of Louisbourg. All drone videography was captured with special permission from Parks Canada and the Fortress of Louisbourg.

The Weather Network story about the drone #NSLighthouseProject, Nova Scotia, Canada
The Weather Network's interview of Larry Peyton & story about the Nō Ka 'Oi Drone Guys' #NSLighthouseProject, which aired 2016-Nov-08.
#NSLighthouseProject: to obtain video footage, via drone, of every lighthouse in the province and globally share the video production, without compensation, to bring awareness to their condition and help save those lighthouses which can be saved, while obtaining some meaningful videography record of those beacons emitting their last gasps. In essence, our hobby is an effort to save old technology with the use of new.

Walton Harbour Lighthouse, Nova Scotia
Some video I took back in August 2010 of the Walton Harbour Lighthouse in Walton, Nova Scotia. Sorry for the low resolution, this was taken with my old camera.
The Walton Harbour Lighthouse was decommissioned in 1986 following the closure of the local gypsum quarry and commercial shipping stopped. Located in the Minas Basin (Bay of Fundy) at high tide the water depth at the nearby dock is between four and eight meters, while at low tide the entrance dries out to a distance of 2 kilometers. Here and at nearby Burntcoat Head, the variance between high and low tides exceeds fifteen meters making it the largest tidal variance in North America.
