Restored Lake Huron light to open for tours (DeTour Reef)

The Marquette Mining Journal describes the openning of the DeTour Reef Light to tours in 2005:

A mile offshore in northern Lake Huron, the newly restored DeTour Reef Light - fresh from a two-year, $1 million restoration project - will offer tours in 2005. The structure was built in 1931 on a 60-foot-square, 20-foot-high concrete crib in 24 feet of water. It is a square steel-framed tower of three distinct levels that rises 63 feet above the deck to mark a dangerous reef to help guide ship traffic between Lake Huron and Lake Superior via the St. Marys River.
