Whitefish Point Light

Built: 1861

On Lake Superior at Whitefish Point near Paradise in the north of Michigan's upper peninsula. Hundreds of shipwrecks occurred near here, including that of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald.


The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society Museum is also located here at Whitefish Point. The bell of the Edmund Fitzgerald was salvaged and now resides inside the museum as a memorial to the ship and her crew.
