Ludington North Breakwater Light (Ludington, Michigan)
The Ludington Light is a 57-foot tall steel-plated lighthouse in Ludington, which lies along the eastern shores of Lake Michigan, at the end of the breakwater on the Pere Marquette Harbor. Given its location on the northern breakwater where the Pere Marquette River meets Lake Michigan, it is sometimes known as the Ludington North Breakwater Light. Underlying the building itself is a prow-like structure, which is designed to break waves. The station was established in 1871, but the first light was not lit until 1924. The light tower is structurally part of the reinforced concrete pier beneath it. The light was automated in 1972, and is still used.
The Ludington North Breakwater Light was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
