Fourteen Foot Shoal Light
Fourteen Foot Shoal Light, Steel lighthouse in Lake Huron near Cheboygan, United States
The concrete and steel structure rises 17 meters above Lake Huron, featuring a copper roof and a conical cast-iron tower for navigation equipment.
Constructed in 1929, the lighthouse marked a significant shift in maritime navigation as it operated without a keeper through remote control from Poe Reef Light.
The lighthouse name derives from the water depth of 14 feet at its location, indicating the navigation hazard that necessitated its construction.
Visitors can observe the lighthouse from North Huron Street in Cheboygan, where the Cheboygan Crib Lighthouse park offers clear views of the offshore structure.
The structure demonstrates early automation technology from 1930, utilizing a fourth-order Fresnel lens and operating with 11,000 candlepower electrical illumination.
