Split Rock, built after the Mataafa storm
Two Harbors, Minnesota

A November gale in 1905 wrecked or stranded nearly thirty ships on Lake Superior in a single storm, and the ore companies went to Congress. Everything to build the light had to be hoisted 130 feet up the cliff by derrick because there was no road. It is probably the most photographed lighthouse in America, and its beacon was only in service for fifty-nine years.
