Swift Point Lighthouse

Swift Point Light was one of six beacons erected in 1869 along the Saint John River between Fredericton and Saint John. The original Saint John River Lights were placed in operation on August 20, 1869, with John Nelson Williams serving as the first keeper at Swift Point.

A new lighthouse has been erected at Green Head, 24 feet east of the site formerly occupied by the old light on a mast, which is now discontinued. The lighthouse is a white, square wooden building 50 feet high, situated 105 feet above high water mark. The illuminating apparatus is dioptric, the light being fixed white, elevated 150 feet above the surface of the water and visible 10 miles from all points of approach by water.
The pressed lens used in the tower was replaced with a seventh-order dioptric lens in 1899. In 1900, a hand foghorn was given to Keeper Thomas E. Looney at Swift Point to be sounded whenever the fog signals of vessels were heard in the vicinity of the station. A mechanical fog bell, installed . Swift Point Lighthouse works in tandem with Sand Point Lighthouse to guide vessels along the Saint John River and locate the narrow entrance to the Reversing Falls section, an area of often confusing tributaries, bays, and islands.
