Manitowaning
October 12, 2003 (ON 47)
This light is right downtown, just below St. Paul's
Episcopal Church. Marnie commented that these lights "all look
pretty much the same" and there sure is a pattern to their
construction.

Providence Bay
(ON 48)
October 12, 2003This light is not in Wes'
bookp1. We learned about it from the table (which reproduced a
tourist map) when we ate breakfast. You can't get very close, this
picture is from the harbor of Providence Bay (and has a heavy digital
zoom). There's another light allegedly at the tip of the
North side of the island in the Indian Reservation. We didn't
attempt to get there. |

the rock is too small for both the light and a helicopter pad.)

South Baymouth Front Range
(ON68)
October 12, 2003
South Baymouth is a ferry connection point to the other
side of Georgian Bay, so this is a significant light for navigation.
It is mounted on a shelf of limestone. With the Great Lakes level as
low as it is at this time, it looks pretty isolated, but I'll bet there
have been times when water came right up to the base. |

South Baymouth Rear Range
(ON69)
October 12, 2003As you can see, this light is buried in a grove of trees, just cut out
so that it is visible from the water. Just behind where I'm standing
is some person's house, so they didn't waste any money on real estate with
this light. |

Cove Island
(ON70)
October 12, 2003
latitude 45º 19' 36.4" N longitude 81º 44'
5.9" W
This picture was taken from the deck of our Ferry from
Manitoulin Island to Tobermory. Some digital zoom was applied, we
didn't get this close to it. |

Big Tub
(ON71)
October 13, 2003 latitude 45º 15' 27.7" N longitude 81º 40' 21" W
Constructed (like many of these lights) out of wood and placed on a
limestone base (actually the same cliff that makes Niagara Falls), this is
still the original wood (built in 1920), so it either was very good wood,
or very well maintained. If you'd like, the old keepers cottage is
for rent. |
