Houses on Devils Island

Devils Island is located at the entrance to Halifax Harbour south east of McNabs Island. This island was inhabited by fisher families and had two lighthouses. The South East Lighthouse is still standing and operating, but the South West Lighthouse was demolished and all that remains is part of the foundation.
