White Shoal Lighthouse
Located in northern Lake Michigan, 20 miles west of the Mackinac Bridge, this 121-foot light marks a hazardous area in this part of Lake Michigan. The light was built in 1910 to replace Lightship No. 56 that had marked the shoal since 1891. Lightship No. 56 was one of the first three lightship stations in Great Lakes. The nearby Waugoshance Shoal Light was abandoned in 1912 after White Shoal Light became operational. The station is built on a massive concrete base with a small octagonal building. Construction of the light was considered a major engineering feat because of its isolated location. The station contains a fog signal and keepers quarters. The quarters were used until 1976 when the light was automated.
