孤独但从不炫耀(Lonely but never showing off)
Peggys Point灯塔位于陡峭的花岗岩露头上,是加拿大新斯科舍省海岸的坚忍守护者。这座15米高的灯塔建于1914年,体现了加拿大海洋省份的持久精神。它的灯塔于1915年首次亮起。目前的灯塔取代了1868年建造的木制结构,该结构于1954年被飓风埃德娜损坏。该建筑的一楼在夏季担任邮局,直到2009年《加拿大邮报》关闭该服务,称霉菌的出现是一种危险。灯塔现在是自动化的,吸引了渴望看到加拿大过去水手的游客,并感受到海洋的露水。

The Peggys Point Lighthouse is located on a steep granite outcrop and is a resilient guardian of the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. This 15 meter high lighthouse was built in 1914, reflecting the enduring spirit of Canada's maritime provinces. Its lighthouse was first lit in 1915. The current lighthouse has replaced the wooden structure built in 1868, which was damaged by Hurricane Edna in 1954. The first floor of the building served as a post office during the summer, until the Canadian Post closed the service in 2009, citing the appearance of mold as a danger. The lighthouse is now automated, attracting tourists eager to see Canadian sailors from the past and feel the dew of the ocean.
