Cheboygan Crib Light, Crib lighthouse at Gordon Turner Park in Cheboygan, United States
The octagonal iron tower stands 25 feet tall with a white exterior and red lantern room at the mouth of Cheboygan River.
Built in 1884 on a timber crib structure, the lighthouse guided ships through the dredged channel into Cheboygan River until its relocation in 1984.
The lighthouse earned the name 'The Dummy' from local residents after its automation in 1929, when it no longer required daily keeper maintenance.
Visitors can view the lighthouse at the end of Water Street in Gordon Turner Park, located north of U.S. Highway 23 in Cheboygan.
The fourth-order Fresnel lens produced a distinctive flash red signal every four seconds, visible up to 10 nautical miles across Lake Huron.
