Lighthouses were first built in Canada's Atlantic region to enhance maritime safety and navigation, particularly due to the treacherous coastal waters and numerous islands. The region's heavy shipping traffic, driven by fishing and trade, necessitated reliable navigational aids to prevent shipwrecks and ensure safe passage. These structures provided crucial visual guidance to sailors, especially during foggy or stormy conditions. Additionally, the development of lighthouses supported the economic growth of coastal communities by facilitating maritime commerce.
