| Notes: | This lighthouse was replaced by White Shoal Light; it has been abandoned since 1912. This is considered one of the most endangered of all Great Lakes lighthouses. The Coast Guard has authorized the Waugoshance Lighthouse Preservation Society to raise the funds to secure the presently standing structure while a long term lease is drawn up, giving the Society temporary ownership for the restoration process. The lighthouse is said to be haunted by the ghost of Keeper John Herman, who either fell or jumped from the lighthouse to his death in 1894. |
