Michigan City East Light
Michigan City East Light, Navigational lighthouse in Michigan City, United States.
The Michigan City East Light rises 15 meters above Lake Michigan, featuring an octagonal shape with white walls and a black lantern room.
Constructed in 1904 to replace an 1858 structure, this lighthouse enhanced maritime safety along the Great Lakes shipping routes through automated guidance systems.
The lighthouse represents Indiana's maritime heritage as one of over 120 lighthouses that guided vessels through the Great Lakes navigation system.
The structure maintains its original Fifth Order Fresnel lens and produces two fog horn blasts every 30 seconds to assist ships during low visibility.
Michigan City East Light stands on a concrete pier with an iron walkway, making it accessible for maintenance and inspection throughout the year.
