42. Lighthouses Of Lake Ontario @US-Lighthouses.com the quickest way for ships on the Western great lakes to get Canada, or you can stayin the us and continue to the island to see the two lighthouses out there. http://www.us-lighthouses.com/ontario.php

Welcome to the the Lake Ontario Shoreline. As you can see from this illustration below, the lake plays host to many lighthouses. Some stand on shore, some sit on barren islands just barely large enough for the light itself, but all were equally important for the shipping industry that once ruled this lake. An example of some of the commerce that took place on the lake was that of grain and lumber with the Port of Oswego being a major port on the lake. Commerce on the lake slowed during the Great Depression and unfortunately never picked back up after it. Other than commerce, Lake Ontario has also saw its share of naval battles. Most notebly during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. There is even a rumor that a German submarine was spotted on the lake during World War II. This has never been proved or disproved. Although Lake Ontario is the smallest of the inland seas, it is not the shallowest. The deepest spot of the lake is about 762 feet which surpasses Lake Erie and Lake Huron and rivals that of Lake Michigan. The lake is approximately 193 miles long and 53 miles wide totalling about 7520 square miles. Lake Ontario shipping traffic may have slowed down after the Great Depression, but it will never die. Reason being? It is the quickest way for ships on the Western Great Lakes to get to the Atlantic Ocean. A ship can leave from Duluth, Minnesota travel across Lake Superior to Whitefish Bay and the locks at Sault Ste. Marie. From here, the ship will pass down the St. Marys River into Lake Huron. Once in Lake Huron, the ship will have to cover the entire distance of the lake. Then from Lake Huron the ship will travel down through the St. Clair River into Lake St. Clair. From here, it will travel down the Detroit River into Lake Erie where it will have to travel the entire distance. Once at the eastern end it will enter the Welland Canal to start its journey to Lake Ontario. It is at this point that it will finally make it into the last major body of water, Lake Ontario, before getting to the ocean. Once in Ontario, it will again have to travel the full distance up to

43. Michigan Lighthouses - Testimonials For those of us whose visits to lighthouses are limited John Wagner has lifted usout and Dick Moehl President great lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association (GLLKA http://www.michiganlighthouse.com/testimonials.html

Testimonials William Upjohn Parfet Friend, Great Lakes Enthusiast President of The Upjohn Company Kalamazoo, Michigan The vast regions of fresh water in North America known as the Great Lakes share the same captivating qualities as the salt water counterparts into which they flow. Glacial effects, early exploration, shipping channels, recreational activities and abundant fishing, all characterize the important role the Great Lakes have played in history. Tales of Native American encampments, early settlers, violent storms, shipwrecks, and peaceful vistas and winter ice floes, all add to the lore of the Great Lakes. The most tangible reminder of the varied and evolving development of these fresh water seas is the lighthouses. Constructed originally to mark areas of danger to seafarers, lighthouses were eventually built to designate a safe route for passage. Each lighthouse along the Great Lakes has its own history, its own unique character, its own charm, and its own meaning to those many who venture past either by land or by sea. This book, this compendium of aerial photographs, is the work of John L. Wagner who has devoted the last six years to capturing the essence of the Great Lakes lighthouses from a perspective never seen before.

Speech given by Timothy Harrison, President of the American Lighthouse Foundation, to the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival Keeper's Dinner, October 11, 2003, in Alpena, Michigan. First let me say what a great honor it is to be here and be given the opportunity to speak in front of so many lighthouse people. I'd especially like to thank Marv Theut, of the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival, and all the many volunteers that make this festival so successful, something that is getting harder and harder to do in today's busy environment and with today's economy. When Marv asked me talk to you today, naturally, I said yes, because, as many of you know I love to talk about saving lighthouses and their history. Over then past 12 years, I have been fortunate enough to been invited to travel to many states to talk about lighthouses, telling the history of them, relating stories of folklore, romance, ghost stories and why it's important to save them. I've spoken to audiences of people who love lighthouses, such as you, to people who had never even thought about lighthouses and their importance. Some settings have been in church basements, in libraries, gymnasiums, auditoriums, and lots of them in have been in hotel meeting rooms such as this one. I've lectured to small audiences that numbered a dozen or so, to outdoor crowds with an audience as large as large as 3,500 people. I guess I've written several hundred articles on lighthouses, coauthored a number of lighthouse books, such as
