2015 Family BC Trip
Exploring Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse in Victoria.
This flight of stairs was used exclusively to get ammunition from the bunker to the big guns defending the beach.
It has been quite a few years since I visited Fisgard Lighthouse, the light was the first lighthouse build on the West Coast of Canada in 1860. It is a beautiful old lighthouse. Located at the Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site, Victoria, B.C.

A fort was first constructed here to protect Victoria harbor in 1878. The fort was closed in 1956 and is now the Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site near Equimalt, BC.
