Description
St. Ignace lighthouse was moved to the old Chief railroad dock in St. Ignace, Michigan in 2006. The 52 foot tall light is not an aid to navigation. The ruins in the foreground were an elevator which was used to load the railroad ferries when the operated between Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula. The elevator collapsed in August of 2011. It was similar to the one used in Mackinaw City which appears in this photo of the Mackinaw Maritime Museum: http://keith-stokes.artistwebsites.com/featured/uscgc-mackinaw-framed-by-railroad-elevator-keith-stokes.html
This photograph was taken on September 3, 2011 with a Canon PowerShot IX20 IS set with lens aperture at F/4, shutter speed 1/640 second and ISO-80.

Thank you, Charles. The orignal framework before the colapse was a striking arch. All of the foreground material has since been removed.
