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

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
