Grand Marais Lighthouse stands as a prominent landmark at the entrance to the harbor of Grand Marais, Michigan, on the southern shore of Lake Superior. This white, square-pyramidal skeletal lighthouse, topped with a red lantern room, was first lit in 1898. Perched on a concrete pier that extends into the vast lake, it has guided countless vessels safely into the protected waters of Grand Marais Bay, a crucial harbor of refuge along a rugged stretch of coastline. Its sturdy construction and enduring presence are a testament to its vital role in maritime navigation and the rich history of the Great Lakes shipping industry.
