Description
Historically referred to as the graveyard of the Pacific, the West Coast of Vancouver Island is one of Canada's worst coastlines for Shipwrecks. Amphitrite Point is one of the places that a lighthouse was built to warn ships of the treacherous shoreline. The point was named for the naval warship the HMS Amphitrite. In 1906 a wooden lighthouse was built on the point only to be destroyed by storm waves in 1914. In 1915 it was replaces by the current lighthouse. The lighthouse is easy to access by way of the popular Wild Pacific Trail located just outside the town of Ucluelet.
