Lighthouses of the world

There are over 20,000 functioning ligIhthouses around the world. I have seen about 75 of them  over the years. 

Many of them on the Pacific coast and the Great Lakes 

Sorry it took so long to set up this next topic!

Pointe aux Barques Lighthouse and Maritime Museum. Huron County, Michigan.

The current structure, built in 1857, is one of the oldest active

lighthouses in the state.

In 1849, Catherine Shook was appointed Michigan’s first female lighthouse keeper for this lighthouse.

Large Lake Superior waves crash into the shoreline in front of Split Rock Lighthouse in Two Harbors, MN on 5/20/25. This day brought 50+mph winds and 9’+ waves to Minnesota’s north shore and the results did not disappoint!
