Description

This is a beauty of a lighthouse and on the stormy afternoon that I first saw this lighthouse, I could easily understand how valuable it was to mariners. This is the Sturgeon Bay Canal North Pierhead Light located on Sturgeon Bay in Door County, Wisconsin. Painted red, the light is situated on the north pier of the southern entrance to the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal. Several lights have been established along the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, but the first of these was this one, the Sturgeon Bay Canal Pierhead Lighthouse. Located just off the coastline at the end of a pier, the lighthouse was constructed in the fall of 1881. The light guides the ships into the entrance of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, which provides a shortcut to Green Bay tht avoids the dangerous Northern Passage around the Door Peninsula commonly referred to as "Death's Door".
