Thanks to the Stevenson family for these photos of a shipwreck that came to the surface in St Peters Harbour in the summer of (our best guess) 1976, in approximately the area marked with an X.

Note: To avoid removing these photos from an aged photo album, these photos have been enhanced using AI to remove cell phone reflection.

10 years ago our lighthouse was abandoned and had just received historical designation. The community worked to restore this landmark to the point where it’s featured in PEI’s hockey promotional video.

In July of 1940, young Waldo Squires posed on this buoy for a photo with his father, Walter. The waters and the shoreline have changed SO much since then. 📸: courtesy of Adam Squires, grandson of then youthful Waldo.

Do you have vintage photos of St. Peters Harbour, the wharf, the lighthouse, or the surrounding area tucked away in an album or family collection?

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the St. Peters Harbour Lighthouse being officially recognized as a heritage lighthouse by the Government of Canada under the Lighthouse Heritage Protection Act. To help celebrate this milestone, we're looking for historic photographs that capture the people, places, and stories that have shaped our harbour community over the years.

Whether it's a snapshot of fishing boats at the wharf, family gatherings by the harbour, views of the lighthouse, or everyday life in the area, we'd love to see them.

If you'd be willing to share your photos, please send them to us through Facebook Messenger or email. Be sure to include any details you know about the photo, such as the approximate date, location, and names of people pictured.
