Passage Island Light, Norman Gothic lighthouse in Keweenaw County, United States.
The stone lighthouse stands 44 feet high with a square base that transitions to an octagonal shape, topped by a ten-sided cast iron lantern.
Construction of Passage Island Light began in 1881 after Congress allocated $18,000, responding to increased maritime traffic from Upper Peninsula mining operations.
The lighthouse represents the evolution of maritime safety infrastructure on Lake Superior, with its location guiding ships between Thunder Bay and open waters.
While the automated lighthouse remains closed to the public, visitors can reach the island through concession tours departing from Rock Harbor on Isle Royale.
The lighthouse keeper's residence integrates directly with the tower structure, featuring five ground-floor rooms and two upstairs chambers in the stone building.
