Mackinac Point Lighthouse, in Mackinaw City, Michigan was completed in 1892 to help guide sailors through the Straits of Mackinac, the straits between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It's powerful beacon could be seen 16 miles away. It went out of service in 1956, and today serves as a maritime museum. "Big Mac", the Mackinac Bridge that connects Michigan's upper and lower penisulas, can be seen in the background.
