Granite Island (Michigan) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Granite Island (Michigan)
Granite Island is a island in Lake Superior located about northwest of Marquette in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. Posted upon it is the Granite Island Lighthouse, also known as Granite Island Light Station, and is "one of the oldest surviving lighthouses on Lake Superior".〔(Interactive map on Michigan lighthouses, ) Detroit News.〕 It is part of Marquette Township, in Marquette County. == Geography == The island is granite rock that rises nearly perpendicularly to above the surface of Lake Superior, surrounded by deep water. The Native Americans called it to Na-Be-Quon Island.〔(Terry Pepper, Seeing the Light, Granite Island Light. )〕 That apparently meant something like 'vessel'. They called a steam ship an "ishcoda nabequon." which was roughly translated as 'fire vessel.'〔(Schoolcraft, Henry Rowe, ''Narrative of the Expedition of 1820'' (1855, Lippincott, Grambo, and Co.) 596 pages (Original from Harvard University, Digitized Sep 14, 2006), p. 212. )〕
