Description
The picturesque red Manistique East Breakwater Light, located on the end of a concrete breakwater on the east side of the harbor where the Manistique River flows into Lake Michigan, welcomes travelers to the harbor town of Manistique in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Built in 1915-17, at a cost of nearly $20,000, the red square steel 35-foot tower is 14-feet square at the base and 10-feet square at the parapet.
This light once guided Lake Michigan railroad car ferries into Manistique. It was the only light on the northern part of Lake Michigan between Seul Choix Point and Poverty Island, a distance of 44 miles.
