St. Helena Island Lighthouse
Lying two miles offshore from Gros Cap and ten miles west of Mackinac Island, St. Helena Island featured a natural harbor on the its north shore that had long provided shelter for both Native Americans and Voyageurs seeking shelter from the lake's notorious southwesterly storms. The buildings of the St. Helena Island Light complex are the sole surviving structures on St. Helena Island, in Mackinac County. The lighthouse on the St. Helena Island's southeastern point was built in 1872-1873 and went into operation in September 1873. It became one of a series of lighthouses that guided vessels through the Straits of Mackinac, past a dangerous shoal that extends from the island.
