Bunker’s Island is a peninsula located in Yarmouth Harbour. The Lighthouse which is nicknamed Bug Light. It was erected in 1874 and built on a rock filled base.
The lighthouse bell had a 1,500-pound weight on it and had to be wound up every six hours by hand. The lightkeepers dory was pulled up at night and hung on davits.
