History
of the Light :
Before its construction in 1935, a Lightship was stationed at
this location since 1910. Two of the Lightships serving here were the
vessel LV89 and the vessel LV103/WAL526.
The
Lighthouse was constructed on a concrete crib to mark one of the many dangerous shoals
around the Northeastern portion of Lake Michigan. It's construction is
very similar to that of the Lansing
Shoal Lighthouse. The Coast Guard
automated the light in 1980.
