When the communities of Cape Sable Island and Barrington learned that the lantern room and lens from the Seal Island Lighthouse were going to be removed in 1977 and relocated to the National Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa, residents took steps to keep the artifacts in the area. Their efforts paid off, it was decided that the lens and lantern room would remain in Barrington, if the community could properly care for them.
An approximately half-scale replica of the Seal Island Lighthouse was constructed as a base for the historic lantern room and second-order Fresnel lens.
