The Skeleton Coast or “Graveyard of the Great Lakes” is a stretch of shore in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan stretching from Whitefish Point to Grand Marais. It includes Vermilion, Crisp Point Light Station, Mouth of the Two Hearted River Life Saving Station and Deer Park Life Saving Station.
Over 200 shipwrecks are there and a string of lighthouses and life saving stations were built to help with the busy maritime traffic on Lake Superior.
Poppins and I explore Crisp Point, Vermillion Life Saving Station, Whitefish Point Light Station and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum (Michigan Shipwreck Museum).
