Estevan Point Lighthouse stands on a headland of the Hesquiat Peninsula on Vancouver Island's rugged west coast, a 30-meter concrete tower designed by William P. Anderson and Henri de Miffonis. The structure gained historical significance in 1942 when the Japanese submarine I-26 attacked it during the Second World War—the first enemy assault on Canadian soil since the Fenian raids of the 1860s. Now classified as a federal heritage building of Canada, the lighthouse remains actively maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard, its light emitting a double flash every 15 seconds from a focal plane 37.5 meters above sea level.
