Description
Hoping to find some icy and snowy lighthouses in Wisconsin, I was rewarded with this scene of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Pierhead lighthouse. There was enough ice so that I felt rewarded for my trip, but not so much that I couldn't walk the entire length of the jetty, at least on this day. Two days later, the jetty was covered with several inches of ice making the walk to the end very risky! The Sturgeon Bay Canal North Pierhead Light is a lighthouse 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.
There are two lighthouses at this location, the other being the Sturgeon Bay Canal Lighthouse, located on the USCG property. Several lights have been established along the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, but the first of these was the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Pierhead Lighthouse. Located just off the coastline of Lake Michigan, the lighthouse was constructed in October and November of 1881, after Congress finally appropriated money for the project originally proposed by the Lighthouse Board in 1873. The light guides ships into the entrance of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, which provides a shortcut to Green Bay that avoids the dangerous Northern Passage around the Door Peninsula commonly referred to as "Death's Door."
