Wawatam Light, with Mast

Not many navigation aids are named after ships, but Wawatam Light sits at the end of the dock which was long used by the Mackinac Straits carferry Chief Wawatam. This light marks the entrance to the Saint Ignace marina.

It's a new light. Wawatam Light was originally built as a decoration for the Monroe Welcome Center on I-75. When the Center was rebuilt in 2004, arrangements were made to move this structure to Saint Ignace, where (as you can see) it now decorates the waterfront (and, not incidentally, anchors the waterfront boardwalk).

Mackinac Island in the background, where to all appearances folks have been building new "cottages."
