9 Charity Island (MI 97)
September 15, 2001

Built in 1857, this light is on the Northwest corner of Charity Island (about 3 miles east-north-east of Gravelly Shoal).  As you can see, it is basically falling apart and sadly in need of repair. By now (2006), the building has been removed. Gravelly Shoal has replaced the light and it has been pretty much ignored since 1939. The only access to the light is by boat, nearest port is Au Gres.
