The possibility of operating a lighthouse on the island as early as 1844. Funds were found to construct a lighthouse after the Christiana was wrecked on the Island, in 1851. A traditional stone lighthouse was first erected on the island in 1856.[2] It was replaced with a steel navigation tower in 1959. Ownership of the island was transferred to the Canadian Wildlife Service in 1979, after the Department of Transport declared it surplus.
