Whitefish Bay Lighthouse
This light, the oldest working lighthouse on Lake Superior, began operating in 1849, though the present tower was constructed later. Early a stopping place for Indians, voyageurs, and later Jesuit missionaries, the point marks a course change for ore boats and other ship navigating this treacherous coastline to and from St. Mary’s Canal. Since 1971 this light, fog signal, and radio beacon have been automated and controlled from Sault Ste. Marie.
