Seeing The Light - Beaver Head Lighthouse Beaver Island is the largest of a group of islands which make up the Beaver Archipelago lying off the northeast coast of Lake Michigan, and served as the western limit of the Grays Reef Passage through which mariners passed in and out of the Straits of Mackinac. Fortunately away from the island when Strang was assassinated and his followers routed from the island by Archibald Newton, the Millers returned to their island home after things on Beaver Island calmed. Tip Miller and his Irish wife raised ten children at the Beaver Island lighthouse, and it would appear that he was quite an entrepreneur, enhancing his lighthouse service income serving as a fisherman, cooper and mail carrier during the winter months. www.terrypepper.com /lights/michigan/beaverhead/beaverhead.htm   (2311 words)

Whiskey Point Lighthouse, Beaver Island Harbor, Beaver Island Michigan The second of Beaver Island's lighthouses was built in 1856 at Whiskey Point, so called because the first white habitation was clustered around a trading post built here eighteen years earlier that made its profit by swapping provisions, particularly whiskey, and weak whiskey at that, for the produce gleaned from this archipelago. Paradise Bay had supplanted Mackinac Island as the economic center of Michigan's northwest a few years before (because cordwood was a dollar less on the dock here, not needing to be imported from the mainland), and this fine natural harbor quickly became a regular stopping and refueling point for lake traffic between Chicago and Buffalo. John Andy Gallagher, who joined in 1934 and was stationed at Beaver Head, told stories such as sailing to Boulder Reef to take thirty people off the floundering Eugene J Buffington in a June storm, including the Captain's sobbing wife, before she could split in two. www.beaverisland.net /History/A_Brief_History/Whiskey_Point_Lighthouse   (867 words)
