The decaying wooden hull of the Bernice D sits on the grounds of the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse. The 30 foot long wooden boat was built in 1915. It was a fishing boat powered by a gasoline engine. It was abandoned in 1981 and sits on display near the lighthouse. I wonder how many times the fisherman used the lighthouse as a guide while they were out on Lake Huron. Now the hull of the Bernice D sits in retirement under the watchful tower of the lighthouse.
If you love lighthouses I hope you will take a look at my lighthouse book HERE
