The Pêche Island Rear Range Light originally stood in American waters east of the mouth of the Detroit River, just north of the international border and northeast of Pêche Island, Ontario, Canada. It was brought to Marine City in 1982 through the combined efforts of Stanford C. Stoddard, Michigan National Bank, Luedtke Engineering Co., and the friends of the Marine City Open Air Maritime Museum, and it was dedicated on August 21, 1983. Pêche Island translates as fishing or fisherman's island. Front and rear range lights give a ship the correct bearing for safe entry into rivers or harbors.
