Description

From the author, John L. Wagner

With 3,288 miles of shoreline, a distance greater than the entire east coast of the United States, Michigan enjoys a special association with the Great Lakes. At one time, Michigan had over 100 manned lighthouses, more than any other state in the union. These lights were an important part of the state’s history and played an essential role in its development.

From the barren, rocky-faced cliffs of Huron Island in Lake Superior, with the keeper’s little house of stone perched atop, to the vast sand dunes of Lake Michigan beyond Big Sable Point, to the candy-striped White Shoal Light standing in the ice-choked Straits of Mackinac—all represent the landscape of this great state.

Michigan’s lighthouses have now all been captured in a spectacular collection of aerial photographs. Taken over a six year period, this photographic essay is available in a creatively designed, 11"x14", 168 page, hard cover, table-top book. The lights and their environments are vividly portrayed, photographed with a 6X7cm medium format camera and quality lenses.
