The automated lighthouse on Mosher Island now burns 24-hours off of Nova Scotia's south shore - seen here at daybreak on July 21, 2020.
Most vessels no longer need the lighthouse, but there are smaller boats that donât have GPS and modern navigational aides. And Mr. Drew, who has rescued plenty of them, knows that out here, people are still supposed to look out for each other.
âThat new light, it canât go out and rescue anybody,â Mr. Drew said. âIsland people know if you get a call for help, you just go. You donât question it. We learn to rely on each other.â
