c. 1905 - decommissioned 1982

This range light was originally located in American Waters, east of the mouth of the Detroit River, just north of the international border and north east of Pêche Island, Ontario, Canada

It was brought to Marine City in 1982 through the combined efforts of Stanford C. Stoddard, Michgian National Bank, Luedtke Engineering Co. and the friends of the Marine City Open Air Maritime Museum. Dedicated August 21, 1983

Pêche Island (sounds like pesh) translates as fishing or fisherman's island.

Front and rear range lights give a ship correct bearing for safe entry into rivers or harbors.
