Summary

In September 2012 the Waugoshance Lighthouse Preservation Society used the Beaver Island Forum to publicize a restoration campaign for the 1851 Waugoshance Shoal Lighthouse. Follow-up posts in October reported that the $10,000 crowdfunding goal had been met.

Evidence limits

The campaign is relevant maritime context for the Beaver Island region, but the held forum thread does not provide an independent engineering assessment, restoration record, or precise geospatial record for the lighthouse.

Sources

  1. The preservation society described the 1851 lighthouse, its abandonment in 1912, and a crowdfunding appeal; later posts said the campaign met its $10,000 goal and thanked donors. This is a society and forum account, not an independent condition survey or proof that restoration work was completed.
