Frying Pan Island Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1882 and no longer serves as a light for ships. A small riveted iron tower on Frying Pan Island off DeTour Village; the Coast Guard moved it in 1988 to its base on Water Street in Sault Ste. Marie, where it stands on display. A light on a post still marks the island.
