About the lighthouse:
The Whitefish Point Lighthouse, built in 1849, has a modern-day appearance that is surprising, due to its early origins. Its tower is an 80-foot-tall steel cylinder, supported by a skeletal steel superstructure framework. It is perhaps this unique construction that has allowed this keeper of the light to survive all of these years in far northern Michigan. Still active today, it flashes its beacon to ships and sailors from Whitefish Point, overlooking lonely Lake Superior, only miles from Canada. Overall lamp height is 24".
