Bois Blanc Island Lighthouse
Bois Blanc is French for "white wood" and was likely named by the early French Voyageurs for the towering forest of white pine and basswood which blankets the high ground at the island’s center. As witness to the importance of Mackinac Island as a center of commerce, Congress appropriated the sum of $5,000 for the construction of a light on Bois Blanc Island in 1828, making it only the second light to be approved on Lake Huron. A crew arrived on the island in early 1829, and worked through the summer erecting the 30-foot tall circular stone tower and detached dwelling. The tower was capped by an iron lantern, and outfitted with an array of thirteen Lewis lamps with reflectors, exhibiting a fixed white characteristic.
