Manistee Pierhead lights
Manistee Pierhead lights, Maritime lighthouse on Lake Michigan shore, United States.
The cylindrical cast iron tower reaches 12 meters in height and features a white body with a black lantern section at its top.
The first lighthouse, built in 1870 on the south pier, burned down during the Great Fire of 1871 that affected the entire town of Manistee.
The Manistee County Historical Museum maintains the lighthouse structure and preserves documents about its maritime role in the Great Lakes navigation.
Visitors can access the lighthouse by taking US 31 and following Memorial Drive west for 1.5 miles until reaching Fifth Avenue Beach and Park.
The lighthouse operates with a fog signal system that produces three distinct blasts every thirty seconds to guide vessels through adverse weather conditions.
