History of St. Clair County, Michigan
by Arthur St. Clair
pub. A. T. Andreas & Co., Chicago; 1883

  [442]
                                LIGHT-HOUSES

      The light houses along the lake and river front of St. Clair are in
   the Eleventh Inspection District, which embraces all the northern lakes.
   The aids to navigation on the river and lake front of St. Clair County
   include the light house at the head of the Old Cut, at South Pass, in
   latitude 42° 00' 33", longitude 82° 12' 30", built in 1859; the Beacon,
   built in 1859, 1,000 feet from South Pass; two lights on the St. Clair
   Flats Canal, built in 1871, and the Fort Gratiot light, built in 1825,
   rebuilt in 1862, in latitude 42° 00' 22" north, longi-tude 82° 24' 44"
   west.  In connection with this light is an eight inch steam fog whistle,
   a description of which is given in the history of Fort Gratiot.  These
   aids to navigation on the St. Clair River, come next in order of
   usefulness to the improvements of the river and canal at the St. Clair
   Flats.
