The area of the British Columbia coastline where Edith Ansty and Walter Brydon operated a lighthouse.
Notes
Addenbrooke lighthouse, known today as Addenbroke Island Lightstation, is situated on the west end of Addenbroke Island in Fitz Hugh Sound. It was established in 1914 on the British Columbia coast to help and aid ship through the treacherous coastline.
W.A. Guthro and his wife Edith were the first lightkeepers of Addenbrooke, and turned the light on in May 1914 for the first time. As time went on there were to be many more lightkeepers of Addenbrooke. There was Mr. F. Smith and his wife who took over in August 1918 and then Mrs. Smith continued on looking after the lightstation after the death of her husband in 1922.
In 1928 Mrs. Smith (now remarried to Mr. W.F. Brydon) traded lightstations with Ernie Maynard, who was the lightkeepers of Lucy Island.
On May 1929, Ernie's career as a lighthouse keeper came to a tragic end. Ernie was found murdered by his boathouse. His murder was never solved. It was suggested that he discovered a thief and in a struggle his live was taken.
Edith stayed at Lucy Island until 1932.
