Huron Lightship Museum at Pine Grove Park, was the last lightship on the Great Lakes and is now open to the public from April through November. Contact the museum for specific times and hours of operation. Lightships were like floating lighthouses anchored in areas where it was too deep, expensive or impractical to construct a lighthouse. Huron lightship was stationed at various shoals on Lake Michigan until 1935 when she was transferred to Corsica Shoals in Lake Huron. For the next 30+ years she guided mariners into the narrow dredged channel of lower Lake Huron leading to the St. Clair River.

Guiding airbound travel along the icy rocks of the Northern floating ice field, the old "I C Rocks" lightship – lovingly nicknamed „Trusty Rusty“ – has been a fixture for more than twenty years. Every airship pilot rejoices at the sight of her fire-red hull, for this signaled that arrvial in Belleville airspace was only a few more hours away. Also, without her bright light, the sharp edges of the floating ice rocks (also known as „skycicles“) would spell certain disaster for most airships – especially blimp-based transportation. Her crew of four spends more than a year at a time on board, bracing fierce weather conditions with temperatures sometimes falling below - 40° C giving the daily maintenance and de-icing of the light tower prime importance.

A light ship is a vessel that operates basically as a surrogate lighthouse tower to assist ships in navigation. Although lightships still exist contemporarily, their viability was huger in those times when marine construction and architecture wasn’t as developed and advanced, as it is today
