Round Island Passage Lighthouse
Round Island Lighthouse commenced operation in 1896 to mark the southern side of North Channel, the narrow passage between Round Island and Mackinac Island that is the most direct route for ships sailing between Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. In 1936, the Coast Guard developed plans for a new lighthouse to stand 1,000 feet off Mackinac Island and mark the opposite side of North Channel, but the erection of the structure was delayed until after the end of World War II. As an interim solution, a marker radiobeacon bell buoy was established 630 feet off Mackinac Island West Breakwater. Work on the modern lighthouse, known as Round Island Passage Lighthouse, was carried out during 1947, and the light was placed in operation on April 15, 1948, at which time Round Island Lighthouse became unattended.
