Windy & Rough

Michigan's bays, canals, and Great Lakes share their wisdom and famously chart the course of history. Along the world's largest freshwater dune system are historic lighthouses that bear witness to timeless nautical stories. This is Grand Haven, Michigan.

In the days before ship-to-shore radios and global positioning systems, lighthouses were the only signposts guiding travelers on the Great Lakes. If you couldn't see them, or the stars and the sun, you were sailing blind.
