SUMMARY
=======
The Point Amour Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on Point Amour in southern Labrador, Canada. It is not far from L'Anse Amour, and was completed in 1857. It is the tallest lighthouse in Atlantic Canada, and the second tallest one in all of Canada, reaching a height of 125 feet.
The Point Amour Lighthouse was part of a series of four lighthouses built in the 1850s to allow for safer passage for the increased steamship travel between Europe and the new world at that time. The cylindrical tower is built of limestone and is painted white with a black band. The limestone used for construction of the lighthouse was obtained from local quarries. Other materials such as timber and brick were not as accessible and were shipped from Quebec to L’Anse au Loup. From L’Anse au Loup they were brought to the sight where the lighthouse was constructed, four miles away. It was built in the series of Imperial Towers and is designated a Provincial Historic Site. The residential part of the lighthouse, completed in 1857, has been renovated and now serves as a museum. The site was also home to a Marconi Station, of which only the foundations survive.
A second order Fresnel lens with a focal plane at 152 feet (46 m) above sea level is in use. In 1996 the operation of the lighthouse was converted to an automatic system. The light characteristic is a period of light of 16 seconds with an adjacent pause of 4 seconds. A fog signal may be sounded from a separate building.

The Lighthouse at Cape Spear and the journey ends
Cape spear is a former American World War 2 base that is now a national historic site. It is also the most easterly point in North America. This area is a must see when visiting St. John's Newfoundland. There is a very cool wild fox population in the area. Dont be scared however, they have become very domesticated over the years with generations of locals hand feeding them over the decades. HOWEVER, I do not endourse this as they are wild animals and feeding wild animals is never recomended no matter how friendly they are. Also while at the cape check out all the other interesting sights including, iceburgs, whales, light houses, Nd all the surrounding nature and wildlife.
