In 1853, Panmure Head Lighthouse became PEI's first wooden lighthouse and the second lighthouse to be built on the Island. The structure is fifty-eight feet tall from its base to vane. The octagonal tower on Panmure Island is supported by a stone foundation and was built with heavy timbers using techniques employed by the local shipbuilding industry such as the use of wooden pegs or trunnels. The tower, which contains four stories connected by a wooden staircase, has many decorative features, like a corbelled cornice and pedimented windows and door,
