| The Grand Island East
Channel Lighthouse stood watch over the entrance to Munising Bay
for more than 130 years. The Grand Island East Channel
Light Rescue Project Committee was formed in 1999 in an attempt
to save the historic structure. The American Lighthouse
Federation ranks the East Channel Lighthouse near the top of its
doomsday list of endangered lighthouses. |

| |
| Construction of the
light house was begun in 1867 and completed the next summer and
was maintained by its keeper George Pryor. It was the
beacon of safe harbor along the shipwreck coast when the
frequent storms would rage along the pictured rocks shoreline.
