Gull Rock Light Station
Gull Rock Light Station, Historic lighthouse in Keweenaw County, United States
The brick tower lighthouse on Gull Rock rises 14 meters above Lake Superior, featuring white exterior walls and a black lantern chamber.
Built in 1867 near Manitou Island, the lighthouse guided vessels through dangerous waters where six ships sank due to poor visibility conditions.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this Lake Superior maritime structure in 1984 for its role in Great Lakes navigation history.
The Gull Rock Lightkeepers organization manages preservation efforts since 2005, with access limited to private boats or scheduled lighthouse tours.
During storms, waves completely submerge the small rocky island, leaving only the lighthouse structure standing above water level.
