The Huron Lightship is a lightvessel that was launched in 1920 and now a museum ship moored in Port Huron, Michigan. Originally commissioned as Lightship Number 103, it operated primarily in southern Lake Huron near Port Huron and the mouth of the St. Clair River. In 1935, the Huron was transferred to Corsica Shoals, approximately 6 miles north of the Blue Water Bridge (connecting Port Huron and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.)
