to provide the range beam. The tower is a white-steelplated

For many years sailors dreaded the eighty miles of dark shoreline
that stretched east from Grand Island Lighthouse to the light
on Whitefish Point. Unmarked by any navigational light, these
dangerous shores claimed dozens of ships. To fill the gap, a
lighthouse was placed on Au Sable Point in 1874. An eighty-seven-foot
brick tower was built on a rise, placing the light about 150
feet above Lake Superior's surface.
