Object description

The Ile Parisienne Light was built in 1911 on the southern tip of remote Ile Parisienne in the middle of Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior on a major shipping lane for ingress/egress to the Soo Locks. The lighthouse keeper's life at the remote light was lonely and perilous. It is now a well-known landmark to shipping traffic and pleasure craft. The light is automated and remains seasonally active.
