Located along the St. Clair River, Port Huron is connected to Point Edward, Ontario in Canada via the Blue Water Bridge. The city lies at the southern end of Lake Huron and is the easternmost point on land in Michigan.

The United States lightship Huron (LV-103) is now a museum ship moored in Pine Grove Park.

Description

The HURON Lightship was the last operating lightship on the Great Lakes, and served for over 50 years when she was retired in 1970. 
For 36 of those years, she was stationed at Corsica Shoals, a sandy area 6 miles north of Port Huron.  She was permanently moored in sand, along the banks of the St. Clair River in scenic Pine Grove Park, Port Huron, MI. 

There is an extensive collection of artifacts, including many model ships, as well as a live camera feed of the bottom of the river, taken off a camera positioned at the bow.  It was dedicated in 1990 as a National Historic Landmark
