Description
The Fort Amherst Lighthouse sets on the south side of St. John's Harbour on the site of the old Fort Amherst. It is visible in the distance from Signal Hill, or by taking a drive along the south side road and a short walk.
The original lighthouse at Fort Amherst was built in 1813 and operated until 1835 by voluntary contribution from vessels entering the harbour. It was replaced by a new structure in 1852. That building was demolished in 1952 to make way for the current structure.
