Thanks for posting this documentary. I love these old videos about the Great Lakes. These old lighthouses must be preserved and kept operational. They may be needed again some day because automated systems are notorious for failing unpredictably. Some of the old lighthouses didn't even need electricity to operate their lights. During an emergency when the lakes are stormy, any light is better than no light. Many ghosts of Great Lakes shipwrecks (the Edmund Fitzgerald) will attest to that.
