We sail past this lighthouse most summers, especially on the way back from Mackinac Island. We always pass it to the north and west, over Rose Shoal, which according to the chart has a least depth of 11 feet at LWD, though we have seen some boats go between the lighthouse and Waugoshance Island, with a least depth of 5 feet at LWD, but that spot is easy to avoid with good navigation (I have a sailboat so I have to watch my keel). Maybe this year I'll try passing between the lighthouse and Waugoshance Island unless there are big seas running. But you can definitely get closer to it than I ever could. According to the chart it looks like you can get pretty close to it, but you never know what might be lurking under the surface.

I’ve lived in Michigan my entire life (diehard maritime/lighthouse history fan), and I’m still baffled how I’m just now finding your channel! Great job guys, I’m about to binge watch your channel all day today. Please keep the maritime videos coming

I am an old Michigan boy, born in Detroit and raised on a farm in the southeast of that state. Your shows both remind me of home and show me things about my birth state I never knew. Thank you so much for what you do. My father was Homer Martin, who led the United Auto Workers through the Flint strike and the most turbulent years of the union’s history. Could you do a show about remnants of that history still standing in Michigan?

Used to take our Jet Skis out Waugoshance from our house all the time growing up. It's kind of eerie to be out there on it. I love your channel, by the way!

One of my favorite abandoned lighthouses! One of the oldest too! Looks like she's holding up ok for the moment. I wonder how long it'll be before she is completely gone, maybe another 100 years?

@@RestlessViking I had heard after they dissolved the preservation society that it would take millions to fix her. I guess the Coast Guard would never even consider it now. I guess we just have to hope.

we bombed it because it gave us one of those looks and we weren't going to take that.
