Previously known as "Shipwrecked Mariners Trail."
Some rocky...
Vancouver Island's West Coast was one of Canada's most dangerous coastlines - its rocky shores have been the final resting place for dozens of ships earning it the nickname the Graveyard of the Pacific.
Amphitrite Lighthouse, built in 1906 was one of several lighthouses constructed to help sailors navigate the region's treacherous waters.
Amphitrite Lighthouse is located on the western edge of Amphitrite Point which was named for the naval warship the HMS Amphitrite in 1859.
In 1906 a woodenlighthousewas built on the Point after the tragic shipwreck of the Pass of Melfort in 1905. After the original lighthouse was destroyed by storm waves in 1914 it was replaced with the current lighthouse in 1915.
Amphitrite Lighthouse was automated by the Canadian Coast Guard in 1988.
