United States lightship Huron, Maritime museum ship in Port Huron, United States.
The United States lightship Huron features a steel hull painted in red, vessel markings, and navigation equipment from its service on the Great Lakes.
Built in 1920, the Huron lightship marked the entrance to Saint Clair River for 36 years at Corsica Shoals until its decommissioning in 1970.
The vessel contains maritime artifacts, model ships, and educational exhibits demonstrating the evolution of Great Lakes navigation methods through the decades.
The museum opens Saturdays and Sundays from September through December, with final entry at 4 PM and suggested donations of 3 dollars per person.
A camera positioned at the ship's bow transmits live footage of the Saint Clair riverbed, allowing visitors to observe underwater activity.
