This light is a familiar sight to vacationers who visit Michigan's Mackinac Island during the summer months. She was built in 1895 to guide ships using the channel between Round and Mackinac Islands. The facility was vacated in 1947 when automated lights took over. Almost lost to rising lake waters in the 1970s she was rescued by concerned citizens and restored.
