Granite Island Lighthouse
Granite Island is a 2.5-acre island in Lake Superior located about 12 miles northwest of Marquette in the Upper Peninsula. Posted upon it is the Granite Island Lighthouse, also known as Granite Island Light Station, and is "one of the oldest surviving lighthouses on Lake Superior". The island is granite rock that rises nearly perpendicularly to 60 feet above the surface of Lake Superior, surrounded by deep water. The Native Americans called it to Na-Be-Quon Island. That apparently meant something like 'vessel'. They called a steam ship an "ishcoda nabequon." which was roughly translated as 'fire vessel.
