this lighthouse is on Bois Blanc island, where my family has a summer cabin for camping

A lighthouse is a tower topped with a very bright light called a beacon. The beacon is used by sailors to help guide their ship at night. Michigan has the most lighthouses of any state, 130 of them! This is most likely because Michigan is surrounded by 5 great lakes. If they didn't have freshwater in them, then they would be called the sea! The water doesn't freeze over completely, and there are plenty of shipwrecks at the bottom of the lake.


I always saw lighthouses on Michigan calendars but didn't really know there were so many. I found this website called https://www.lighthousefriends.com/ and you can click on the maps to view different lighthouses.
