Whitefish Point Lighthouse by Moonlight
The Whitefish Point Lighthouse illumintated by moonlight. Whitefish Point is located at the extreme southeastern end of Lake Superior. It is a critical turning point for all vessel traffic entering and leaving this largest of all the Great Lakes. The Whitefish Point Light Station was established by Congress in 1849; since then, a life-saving beacon has illuminated these dangerous waters for mariners continuously. Today, the Whitefish Point Light is the oldest operating lighthouse on Lake Superior. The present light tower was constructed in 1861 during Abraham Lincolns administration. n nWhitefish Point marks the eastern end of a notorious 80-mile stretch of shoreline from here west to Munising, Michigan, known ominously as Lake Superiors Shipwreck Coast. Of the 550 known major shipwrecks lying on the bottom of the lake, at least 200 of them are in the vicinity of Whitefish Point. The primary causes of shipwreck here are stress of weather and collision; the 1975 loss of the steamer Edmund Fitzgerald with her entire crew of 29 has become a world-wide legend. The wreck of the Fitzgerald lies just 15 miles northwest of Whitefish Point

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of the Whitefish Point Lighthouse illuminated by moonlight. Located at the southeastern end of Lake Superior, this lighthouse holds immense historical significance as a critical turning point for vessel traffic entering and leaving the Great Lakes. Established in 1849, its life-saving beacon has guided mariners through these treacherous waters for over a century. As the oldest operating lighthouse on Lake Superior, the present light tower was constructed during Abraham Lincoln's administration in 1861. However, Whitefish Point is not only known for its rich maritime history but also for being part of Lake Superior's Shipwreck Coast. Stretching ominously from here to Munising, Michigan, this notorious 80-mile shoreline is home to approximately 200 shipwrecks out of the lake's total count of 550. The primary causes behind these tragic shipwrecks are often attributed to extreme weather conditions and collisions. One such legendary incident that echoes worldwide is the loss of the steamer Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975 with her entire crew of 29 onboard. The wreckage lies just northwest of Whitefish Point, serving as a haunting reminder of nature's power and man's vulnerability. Through Matt Anderson Photography's lens, this print immortalizes both the serene allure and perilous history surrounding Whitefish Point Lighthouse by Moonlight – an exquisite piece that evokes wonderment while paying homage to those who have navigated these dangerous waters before us.
