Coast Guard flies out to fix remote Michigan lighthouse known as ‘the Loneliest Place in the World’ Updated Feb 01, 2021; Posted Feb 01, 2021 Icy conditions greeted U.S. Coast Guard crews during a Jan. 26, 2021 trip out to Stannard Rock Lighthouse. Facebook Share LAKE SUPERIOR, MI - After a harsh winter storm blew out a window in the very remote Stannard Rock Lighthouse in Lake Superior, a team from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Alder recently hitched a ride on a Jayhawk helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City to make the icy repair. Teams had been worried the missing window could threaten the electronics inside - and even the working light - at the historic lighthouse that sits off the eastern shore of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula.
