Pachena Point

On December 27, 2007, Canada issued five stamps featuring lighthouses of the country. One of the stamps showed the lighthouse at Pachena Point, British Columbia. The lighthouse keeper's home was shown to the left of the lighthouse, but from the sight angle on the stamp should have been to the right. The fact was noticed by former lighthouse keeper Iain Colquhoun. The stamp was not withdrawn but a corrected stamp issued on May 1, 2008.
