Muskegon South Pierhead Light
Muskegon South Pierhead Light, Navigation lighthouse at Lake Michigan pier, Muskegon, United States.
The white painted lighthouse rises 14.5 meters above the south pier and features a cylindrical tower with a red roofed lantern room.
The original lighthouse structure from 1851 served the lumber trade in Muskegon Harbor until the current steel tower replaced it in 1903.
The Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy maintains and preserves this maritime structure, which gained National Register of Historic Places status.
Visitors can explore the lighthouse grounds from May through October, with guided interior tours offered between June and September.
First Assistant Keeper Ransom Jakubovsky rescued passengers from the City of Muskegon steamship when it struck the pier during a 1919 storm.
