While originally installed at Cape Race, Newfoundland, this tower is most commonly referred to as the Cape North Lighthouse. It now stands landlocked at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, Canada. ==History and construction== The 29 meter tall lighthouse was first installed at Cape Race point in Newfoundland in 1856 by the British Government’s Trinity House, the official lighthouse authority for British waters.〔("Museum Treasures: Cape North Lighthouse" ), Virtual Museum of Canada〕 The lighthouse is constructed of 32 cast-iron plates joined together with bolts.〔("Technology Park" ), Canada Science and Technology Museum.〕 This sectional, modular design was chosen to reduce the cost of building towers〔Babaian, Sharon, ("CSTM Origins, Chapter 3: Getting Things Done" ), Canada Science and Technology Museum, pp. 47-48.〕 and to facilitate lighthouse construction in remote, inaccessible locations using local, unskilled labour.〔("Technology Park" ), Canada Science and Technology Museum.〕 When a larger lighthouse was built at Cape Race, the old tower was disassembled, moved by ship, and reassembled for the light at Cape North, Nova Scotia, with a new Fresnel lens, made by Chance Brothers in England. The lens floats in a bed of mercury, and was turned by clockwork mechanism before being converted to electric power.〔("Museum Treasures: Cape North Lighthouse" ), Virtual Museum of Canada〕〔Babaian, Sharon, ("CSTM Origins, Chapter 3: Getting Things Done" ), Canada Science and Technology Museum, pp. 47-48.〕 The tower features a red checkerboard pattern, which was chosen to help make the lighthouse visible in dense fog and against the often snowy landscape.〔("Museum Treasures: Cape North Lighthouse" ), Virtual Museum of Canada〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cape North Lighthouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
