Gull Island (Lake Erie)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While there is no current Gull Island in Lake Erie, two former islands have that name. One is on the U.S. side, and one on the Canadian side.

The U.S. Gull Island is a former island of the U.S. state of Ohio, located in Lake Erie. Although it still appears on some old maps of Lake Erie as "Gull Island", it is no longer an island, but rather is now just a shoal south of Middle Island. The island was last seen above water 120 years ago.

The Canadian Gull Island is the one now called Mohawk Island, off Lowbanks, Ontario. It contains the ruins of the Mohawk Island Lighthouse, which used to be called the Gull Island Lighthouse.
