St. Helena Island (Michigan) : ウィキペディア英語版 | St. Helena Island (Michigan) St. Helena Island is an uninhabited island in the Lake Michigan approach to the Straits of Mackinac. The island is located offshore from Gros Cap, Michigan, west of Mackinac Island in Mackinac County in the U.S. state of Michigan. ==History and description== From the standpoint of the Great Lakes, the most important fact about St. Helena Island are the shoal waters that extend outward from the small island's southeasternmost point. A hazard to navigation, the shoal inspired the 1873 construction of a lighthouse and tower. The St. Helena Island Light not only warned boaters away from the shoal, but also guided eastbound vessels toward the narrow Straits of Mackinac. The light station, which now constitutes the island's only remaining constructed buildings, remains as an active aid to navigation as of 2014. By contrast, the Island's north shore has a natural (albeit shallow) harbor on its north shore. Historically, this embayment provided shelter for both Native Americans and voyageurs, who sought shelter from fierce, foreseeable and notorious southwesterly storms, which would drive waves that gained strength running with the lake's length.
