Book a lake adventure tour to the Lighthouse with Archie’s Charters
Just east of Thunder Bay on Lake Superior’s northern shore, the volcanic Black Bay Peninsula separates Black Bay and Nipigon Bay and consists of over 300 distinct lava flows. Porphyry Island, the last in a chain of islands that stretch southwest from the peninsula, is named for the island’s igneous rock, known as porphyry, that contains quartz and feldspar crystals. Another unique feature of the island is the presence of devil’s club, a shrub with a spiny stem and large leaves. The population of devil’s club on Porphyry Island and three nearby islands is the only known occurrence of the plant east of the Rocky Mountains.
In 1872, Parliament allocated $8,000 for the construction of three new lighthouses in Lake Superior to assists the rapidly expanding trade on the lake, and a contract was entered into for the construction of two lighthouses on Michipicoten Island and one on Porphyry Island. The following description of the new light on Porphyry Island was published by the Department of Marine in 1
