Description: Au Sable Point is a place of mystery and tragedy. Located on the southern shore of Lake Superior, in the heart of the region known as the “Shipwreck Coast,” Au Sable, called Big Sable in its early years, is a graveyard of ships and men that stands alone among the Great Lakes. It is an extraordinary place that attracted extraordinary events. Skeleton ship frames surround Au Sable Point, marking a mile-long sandstone reef that reached out into Lake Superior waiting to grab any and all ships that passed by. In an effort to end this tragic loss of lives, the Au Sable Point Lighthouse was constructed to warn mariners of its hidden reef. At the heart of the famed "Shipwreck Coast," Au Sable Point was a beacon of hope and safety. The author traces the history of the lighthouse and the dangerous reef that waits six feet under the lake's surface, and serves as the final resting place for so many sailors. From the early years, before the construction of the lighthouse, to present days, with the lighthouse inserted in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and fully restored, still accomplishing his mission of providing a beacon in the night to mariners.
