About Lightship LV-75 St. Clair Lighthouse
The steel lightship LV-75 St. Clair, built in 1902, measured 84 feet in length and had a single mast for its light. It operated on Lake St. Clair near Detroit, Michigan. Deactivated in 1939, the vessel was later used as a barge on the New York State Canal and then as a lighter in New York harbor. Its last known location was Kill Van Kull along Staten Island, but its present whereabouts are unknown, suggesting it may no longer exist.
Why it matters: Lightship LV-75 St. Clair served as a navigation aid on Lake St. Clair. Its subsequent use as a barge and lighter shows the versatility of such craft.
