Description
I liked this image of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Lighthouse in black and white as well as color so I did both! At Sturgeon Bay, there are two lighthouses within a few hundred yards from one another. This is the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Lighthouse, which sits on the shore, while the Sturgeon Bay Pierhead Lighthouse sits, as its name suggests, at the end of a pier. The pierhead lighthouse was constructed in 1881 but was deemed inadequate. In 1890, it was recommended that a lighthouse be built onshore near the keeper's dwelling and it was officially completed in 1898. These lighthouses serve to mark the shipping canal connecting Sturgeon Bay on Green Bay with lake Michigan, across Door Peninsula. This Canal Station remains staffed by the Coast Guard to the present day. It was listed in the national Register of Historic Places in 1984.
