Description
The Split Rock Lighthouse is a photograph of this classic lighthouse sitting atop a cliff at the edge of Lake Superior in the USA.
After a November gale wrecked nearly 30 ships on Lake Superior in 1905, the president of a steamship company led a delegation urging the U.S. Lighthouse Service to construct this lighthouse landmark. The Split Rock Light Station was completed in 1910, and for half a century it oversaw the safe passage of freighters carrying freshly mined ore from Minnesota’s Iron Range. It is now the main attraction of Split Rock Lighthouse State Park.
