Description
The North Manitou Shoal Light, also known as the North Manitou Light, is a lighthouse located in Lake Michigan, southeast of North Manitou Island on Lake Michigan in Leland Township, Michigan. When it was automated in 1980, it was the last manned offshore light in the Great Lakes. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
The North Manitou Shoal Light Station is a white square steel structure atop a concrete crib. The crib measures 65 feet (20 m) on a side, and supports a 62 feet (19 m) square superstructure rising 20 feet (6.1 m) above the water.[6] A two-story steel building 37 feet (11 m) square, containing diesel generators and living quarters, sits atop the superstructure, and a three-story steel tower containing the light caps the whole. The steel portion is 63 feet (19 m) tall and the light is positioned 79 feet (24 m) above the water.
