The Lighthouses of Lake Erie

The West Sister Island Light Tower marks the west end of the south passage through the Bass Islands, north of Port Clinton and Sandusky Ohio. The still-active light station was built in 1847, then raised and rebuilt in 1868. The 55-foot white stucco structure is not open to the public, but may be viewed by boat.

The keeper's house and the other station buildings were destroyed during World War II when the US Army used the island for target practice. Today, the island is a natural wildlife preserve.
