2002 Christmas Exclusive Located in the middle of the St. Lawrence River is a small strip of land that marks the area where ships crossover from Canadian to American waters. Hence, mariners named the spot Crossover Island. Officials first established a lighthousehere in 1848, erecting a structure that was ill equipped for the severe weather conditions. So in 1882, workers completely rebuilt the light station and keepers quarters, improving the design for a sentinel that would last.
One keeper, Daniel David Hill, served from 1909 to 1931, recording over 400 rescues, including three passengers of a bi-plane that crashed near the island.
Crossover Island Lighthouse was deactivated and replaced by an offshore skeletal buoy in 1941. The sentinel is currently privately owned and used as a summer cottage. It remains in excellent condition. Limited edition of 7500 pieces.
