I think in total I saw six lighthouses on the cruise. We also saw a lot of sea signage, like small light towers or just large warning signs. We had been sitting in our cabin on the ship when I noticed on the CCTV that we had left the more open water and were headed into the straits of the Inside Passage When I got out to the deck we had just passed the Pine Island Lighthouse.
Pine Island Light was originally built in 1907 and replaced sometime before 1967 and again it was replaced by the current tower in 2001. It sits at the northern mouth of Queen Charlotte Strait at Queen Charlotte Sound. 340 mile south southeast of Ketchikan, Alaska and 230 miles northwest of Vancouver, British Columbia.
