Copper Harbor Front Range Light

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Copper Harbor Front Range Light is in Copper Harbor, Michigan.

While the Copper Harbor Light effectively illuminated the area of the harbor, it failed to guide mariners through the narrow opening of rocks at its entrance. Construction on the range lights were completed in 1869.
