Incredible photos show final moments of Lake Michigan light toppled by waves
MANITOWOC, WI – A historic Lake Michigan lighthouse beacon is no more after massive waves washed it into open water on Monday.
The South Pier Light Navigational Beacon, which has stood in some form near the entrance to Wisconsin’s Manitowoc Harbor by the Manitowoc Breakwater Lighthouse for decades, fell into Lake Michigan around 8:30 a.m. after its 20-foot-tall fiberglass tower was hit by waves and strong winds, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
