Two Harbors Light Station

The Two Harbors Light is the oldest operating lighthouse in the state of Minnesota. The lighthouse is located in the city of Two Harbors, overlooking Lake Superior's Agate Bay.

 

34 years ago today, the freighter S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald left Superior, Wisconsin, headed for Detroit with 26,000 tons of taconite when it encountered a November gale on Lake Superior. Unable to reach shelter, the ship went down — taking with it a crew of 29 men.
