On one occasion, a group of French sailors were caught in a storm at the north end of Lake Michigan and sought shelter. They landed on the rocky shore of a small bay on the southern shore of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Here they waited out the storm in the protected bay and when they departed they named the bay or harbor – Seul Choix – which translates as “only choice.”</p> </div></div></div> <div class="field field-name-field-photo field-type-image field-label-hidden"> <img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://uslhs.org/sites/default/files/article_images/seul_choix.jpg" width="429" height="516" alt="" /> </div> <h3 class="field-label"> File </h3> <div class="field field-name-field-file field-type-file field-label-above"> <span class="file"><img class="file-icon" alt="PDF icon" title="application/pdf" src="/modules/file/icons/application-pdf.png" /> <a href="https://uslhs.org/sites/default/files/articles_pdf/seul_choix.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=504553">seul_choix.pdf</a></span> </div> <div class="field field-name-field-location field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"> <a href="/lighthouse-locations/lake-michigan" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Lake Michigan</a> </div> Fri, 07 Nov 2014 00:32:46 +0000 rich 1803 at https://uslhs.org https://uslhs.org/education/articles/seul-choix-lighthouse-lake-michigan#comments
