Back to Jeffrey's Lighthouse Visits

Whitefish Point, near Paradise, MI - August 2000

One of the most famous lighthouses in America and one of the best interpretive locations to learn about Great Lakes Maritime history. Whitefish Point is 17 miles from the location where, on Nov. 10, 1975, a fierce storm sank the freighter "Edmund Fitzgerald" along with its iron ore and 29 crewmen. The museums at Whitefish Point chronicle the history of many shipwrecks in Lake Superior, and include the original ship's bell of the "Fitz". The lighthouse itself is not climbable.

Chillin' in Lake Superior!
