- That's some great lighthouse information you have there. I've always enjoyed seeing lighthouses, and about five years ago, became an avid sail boater. Sailing all around Lake Huron and Georgian Bay in Ontario, has given me plenty of opportunities to see even more lighthouses. I wrote a blog post about lighthouse posters on my website a while a ago. You may enjoy giving it a read.
