Peninsula Point Light
The Stonington Peninsula juts into Lake Michigan from the southern coast of Michigan's Upper Peninsula at a key point along the shipping lanes to and from the docks of Escanaba and Gladstone, as a hazardous shoal extends more than 2 miles out into the lake, posing a hazard to shipping. Thus the light had two purposes: it marked a turning point; and it warned mariners away from the rocks and shallows. An active aid to navigation from 1865 to 1934. Its tower is open for visitors to climb into the cast iron lantern room at the top of a cast iron spiral staircase. The attached lighthouse keeper's residence burnt in 1959.

True : N 44° 41.816 W 85° 19.990
