Description
Powerful fierce waves crash around St Joseph North Pier Inner and Outer Lighthouses in St Joseph, Michigan, United States. It was very interesting to watch mother nature. The St. Joseph North Pier Inner and Outer Lights are lighthouses in Michigan at the entrance to the St. Joseph River on Lake Michigan. The station was built in 1832 with the current lights built in 1906 and 1907; they were decommissioned in 2005. St. Joseph was first platted in 1829, and the first lighthouse was located on shore in 1832. Construction began on harbor piers in 1836, and by 1848 a beacon light had been established on the pier. The onshore lighthouse was replaced in 1859, and a new pierhead was constructed on the south pier in 1870. In 1881, it was transferred to the north pier. In 1906/07, the present set of range lights was constructed.
This has been featured in the following groups:
-8.21.23 Great Lakes Lighthouses
Ownership was transferred to the city of St. Joseph in 2013. A committee was formed in 2014 raised $2 million to fully restore the pier range lights which was completed in 2016.
