Printed in the United States by Macomb Printing Specialties. OUR COVER PICTURE. . .The Holland South Pierhead Lighthouse is one of the few "live-in" lighthouses remaining on Lake Michigan. It was built in 1907 and is the third lighthouse to stand on the south pierhead. This photo was taken by Harry Wolf while working as ship's photographer on the North American in 1937. In 1956, the Coast Guard sand blasted the structure and painted it red, to help mark the southern edge of the channel.
