South Haven Lighthouse Log Passing Vessels Dataset

This dataset was created from the digitized log “Record of passing vessels at the South Haven light-station” housed within the South Haven Michigan Lighthouse Log collection at Western Michigan University.

The log notes the passing vessels at the South Pierhead, South Haven, Michigan, from July 1, 1878 to June 30, 1882. Entries were recorded by Commander Miller and Commander Watson of the U.S. Navy. The log contains notations for the barges, brigs, sloops, schooners, and steamers entering in and leaving South Haven. In addition to vessels, it includes information on weather conditions.
