Thunder Cape, Lake Superior, Fort William

In 1874, the Department of Marine built a lighthouse on Thunder Cape, the southern end of Sibley Peninsula, to guide mariners into Thunder Bay, where the settlements of Port Arthur and Fort William were found. In January 1970, these two towns were amalgamated to form the city of Thunder Bay. A very superior light-house has been erected during the past year at Thunder Cape, Lake Superior, which will prove of much service to the steamboat trade on the Lakes. The light exhibited is revolving white, on the catoptric principle, showing a flash every minute, is visible from all points of approach, and in clear weather will probably be seen at a distance of from 12 to 18 miles. It was first put in operation on the 8th October last. The tower is a square wooden building, with dwelling attached, and is painted white. LINK - www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=2260
