I'm thinking further North.
Somewhere around the Gulf of St.Lawrence or maybe even Newfoundland???

The things you learn on Sailnet..

Stick with me kid ..... font of all wisdom and all that .....

Ok .... this one has got me I confess. Judging by the the style of the lighthouse it seems likely to be Canada probably Newfoundland but that is as close as I have got.

Fallard ... where are you my man ... we need clues ...

The lighthouse itself matches the Cape Race lighthouse but nothing else does so I'm presuming same designer but that is all I've got.

[Geoff54]

The Cape Race lighthouse was built in the UK and installed by Trinity House, so it's almost certainly a common design.

Fisgard Lighthouse?

[tdw]

To me Fisgard does not look slab sided enough. That LH is dead straight, no visible conical shape. Fisgard Island also doesn't look big enough.

The light is on an island in the US. One distinguishing feature is the tramway that was used to bring fuel to the lighthouse. Another is the rather rare, 12 ft high 1st order Fresnel lens.
