Minneapolis Shoal Light Station
Minneapolis Shoal Light Station, Navigational lighthouse in Delta County, United States.
The Minneapolis Shoal Light Station features a concrete tower reaching 21 meters in height with a two-story base housing equipment and keeper quarters.
The light station commenced operations in 1935 to guide maritime traffic through northern Green Bay, replacing the earlier Peninsula Point Light established in 1856.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this offshore lighthouse in 2006 for its role in Great Lakes maritime navigation and architectural significance.
Located 10 miles south of Peninsula Point near Escanaba, Michigan, this automated lighthouse continues to function as an active navigational aid in Lake Michigan.
The lighthouse operates on a specific five-second cycle, illuminating for less than 2.5 seconds followed by darkness to create its distinguishing signal pattern.
