Description
This image captures the outer light at St. Joseph, Michigan. This is one of the few remaining pier range light systems on the Great Lakes still in operation. The outer light rests on a steel structure about 30 feet tall. The inner light (not shown here) is contained in a larger, two-story structure. A catwalk extends over 300 yards from shore to the inner light, then continues to this outer light at the end of the pier. Catwalks were built so that lighthouse keepers could access the lights when the sea was rough and the waves were crashing over the pier making it too slippery to walk on. The image, rendered here in color, is also available in black and white.
