Pilot Island Lighthouse (Port des Morts) 2008* Great photos taken on a sunny day from a Wisconsin charter boat,

Pilot Island is an island in Lake Michigan in Door County, Wisconsin. Pilot Island Lighthouse is located on tiny Pilot Island, marking the eastern entrance to Death's Door Passage. The lighthouse is also known as "Port des Mort", which translates to "Door of Death." And old Mariners feared this place at the entrance to Green Bay for exactly that reason. This area is often fog bound and subject to gales and blizzards. Even when the light was operating many Mariners met death on Pilot Island.
