Greetings from one Michigander to another

Coincidentally, I have a place one mile north of Sturgeon Point Light, which I am guessing is in your neck of the woods in Northern Michigan. Welcome. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:31, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

I wish I lived up there, although it's one of my favorite places to visit. I got a place in Mills Township, but reside in the metro detroit area. Bowtiesarecool06 (talk) 23:44, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Re: Whalebacks

Hello. Thank you for sending me the message. I am currently busy with my own big project (I am compiling a list of all the shipwrecks in the Wisconsin portion Lake Michigan), but I'd be happy to help. I have already created articles for the whalebacks SS Henry Cort and Whaleback Barge 101 and the semi-whaleback SS Choctaw. What did you have in mind? Just a list of whalebacks, or a separate article for each whaleback? GreatLakesShips (talk) 20:12, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Bowtiesarecool06! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, can you cite books as sources?, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to .

Lighthouse Magazine

A fellow Southeastern Michigan person, hello! I'm currently trying to get Devils Island Light from Start class to at least C class. One of the sources listed is the january 1999 issue of Lighthouse Magazine, and before I spend a few bucks to have the backorder shipped to me, I thought I'd enquire to find out if you happen to have that mag, or know anyone who does? Thanks either way! Patr2016 (talk) 01:37, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

@Patr2016 Thanks for the inquiry! Always nice to talk to new people. I myself have not heard of the magazine, but because I am a 16 year old who is heavily interested and involved in this stuff, I have an older friend who has lots of magazines and books and such that he wants to give to me. I will contact him and see if he has what you are looking for. It will take a few weeks because he lives in Cleveland, but if he does have it I will let you know.

I really appreciate that! Patr2016 (talk) 16:01, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

@Patr2016 I called him today, he does not have any copies of Lighthouse Magazine and said it is unlikely that his other friend still has any issues. Bowtiesarecool06 (talk) 21:47, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Ah well, I appreciate you checking it out! All the best. Patr2016 (talk) 21:52, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
