Returning to Port
The J.R.Jensen, a 1945 steel-hulled Great Lakes fishing tug is returning to its home port of Manistique, Michigan. The fresh catch of Great Lakes whitefish, trout or salmon will be sold at Jensen Fishery. The overhead flock of hungry seagulls following the boat suggests that the Jensen had a successful fishing trip.
Manistique Harbor is protected by an extensive breakwater, at the end of which is the 1916-built landmark, the Manistique East Breakwater Light. INCREDIBLY, this famous, working lighthouse was purchased by a private individual at a 2012 auction for the opening bid, a mere $15,000. It went to auction because, when offered for free to any local government, or non-profit conservancy, none came forward to accept the responsibility for maintaining this light, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
