Double Duty: Grand Haven Light(s)
A 51-foot tall cylindrical, steel lighthouse was built at this location on the South Pier, Grand Haven, Michigan in 1905. The outlying front light and fog signal building was added in 1922.
Though the air was relatively still and it was a bright sunny morning, waves were high enough to make the pier wet and slippery. On stormy days, the waves can be very high, dangerously washing over the pier, making the lighted catwalk to the lighthouse an important feature.
