Plum Island Range Light Station - a photo on Flickriver

Plum Island Range Light Station

            A Range lights are a special kind of lighthouse consisting of two lights, front and rear, that when aligned tell a ship's captain that they are on the correct course to navigate through the deepest part of a passage. 

Shown here is the the rear range light on Plum Island in Door County, WI. It was built 1896 and helps ships navigate through a straight known as Death's Door that links Green Bay to Lake Michigan. Death's Door is infamous for it's narrowness, shallow shoals, and unpredictable weather. It has become the resting place to one of the largest concentrations of freshwater shipwrecks in the world. The island also includes a fog signal station and keepers dwelling which were staffed until 1955 when the crew was moved to a Coast Guard lifesaving station on the opposite side of the island. That station continued to be managed by the Coast Guard until 1992 when the range lights were automated and their operations were moved to Washington Island.
