Notes: |
St. John's, Canada - There has been a lighthouse operating at Cape Spear since September 1836. The original Cape Spear lighthouse was the second lighthouse built in Newfoundland; the first was built in 1810 at Fort Amherst, at the entrance to St. John's Harbour. In 1832, the first legislative assembly for the colony created a lighthouse board. Cape Spear was chosen as the site for a new lighthouse because it was on the rocky eastern coast near the entrance to St John's harbour.
There is currently a dispute as to whether Cape Spear is the most easterly point in North America. While some consider Cape Spear to hold this title, others consider Nordost Rundingen, Greenland or Semisopochnoi Island to hold the title.
