This image was drawn from a
photograph of Entrance Island Lighthouse taken while on a BC Ferry trip to
Vancouver (Tsawassen) via Nanaimo in 2010.
For
nearly 140 years the Entrance Island Lighthouse has been a beacon shining
across the waters of Georgia Strait to guide seafarers and aviators safely to
their destination. The lighthouse, which has been manned since its construction
in the mid-1870s, is located off the northeast tip of Gabriola Island. (Nanaimo

Sale proceeds from the original pen and ink image were donated to support the protection of the Flycatcher Forest
on Pender Island by the Raincoast Conservation
Foundation and the Pender Island
Conservancy.
