St. Clair Flats South Channel Range Lights - July 12, 2014 (Lake St. Clair, Michigan)

The South Channel Range Lights in Lake St. Clair (Michigan) were constructed between 1855 and 1859 to help ships navigate through the St. Clair Flats. This is an important part of the trip between Port Huron and Detroit. The lights were seen on two July 12, 2014 Summer Discovery Cruises from Michigan Sea Grant. These were the 10am Lighthouses of Lake St. Clair & 2pm History of Lake St Clair. The earlier cruise was hazier. There were also many Common Terns that were living by the front range light (the shorter one). The lights are being restored by the SOSCLA (Save Our South Channel Lights Association - www.soschannellights.org/). The cruise was lots of fun!
