The first lighthouse at Amphitrite Point was built in 1906 after the tragic shipwreck of the Pass Of Melfort in 1905. Storm waves destroyed the small wooden lighthouse in 1914. Construction of the current structure began in January 1915 under extreme weather conditions. Men put in grueling 14-hour workdays, pulling 450-pound loads of materials from the lifeboat dock in Spring Cove through a quagmire of mud. After only 3 months the new bunker-like lighthouse was ready to withstand the forces of the seas.

Plant Sale
DOORS OPEN AT 11 AM - plants can be dropped off in advance
Each spring we have an annual plant sale specializing in local plants from local gardens. The Saturday prior to Mother’s Day the community provide the society with well established varieties at give-away prices. There are door prizes and hanging basket draws, so join in the line-up at 11:00am
The Historical Society’s highly anticipated Mother’s Day Plant Sale needs you to collect bulbs, seeds, cuttings, and plants large or small,-- we want them all -- so please keep us in mind as you putter in your gardens. If you have plants to share, but no pots to put them in, please make a request via our email account:pacificrimhistory@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to get some pots to you.
Many Thanks!!!
