Huron Island Light, Granite lighthouse in Huron Islands, US.
The Huron Island Light includes a square tower measuring 39 feet high with an integrated keeper's dwelling on the westernmost Huron Island.
Built in 1868 after the wreck of S.S. Arctic, the lighthouse guided vessels through treacherous waters during the copper trade near Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula.
The lighthouse transformation from steam power to electrical systems in the 1930s reflects the technological evolution of maritime navigation in the Great Lakes.
The lighthouse remains closed to public access, as it currently operates as an automated navigation aid within the Huron National Wildlife Refuge.
Local granite from the island itself forms the entire structure, connecting the lighthouse directly to its foundation ground in Lake Superior.
