These lighthouses have something in common.
1. Nauset Beach
2. Wisconsin Point
3. Michigan City
Think outside the box; obviously as lighthouses these have beacons, stairs and water close by. Maybe it's the kind of beacons, stairs or water; maybe it isn't.
If you've figured it out, DO NOT POST THE ANSWER, but add another lighthouse that shares what these three have in common. (There are many.)
If your post doesn't have what these three have in common (or the trait(s) I'm thinking of), I'll post another lighthouse that shares what these three have. If you were right, your lighthouse name will be included in the list.
Let's see how many lighthouses we can name that share what these three have in common.
Please don't give away the answer; trial and error.

I suspect you mean the Michigan City Pier Light, not Old Michigan City?

All you need to know to make the connection is some early American history.
Add a 10th name to the list. There may be another 20 lighthouses that share what these 9 have in common.

Don't give up yet Doc! Why, Doc, is that Old Mackinac Point as your Wacko avatar?31. Old Mackinac Point MIFocus on the hint. Something will pop-out at you and you'll wonder why you didn't see it earlier: All you need to know to make the connection is some early American history.

I think I've underestimated the number of American lighthouses that meet the criteria. Could be another 30 or more.

Add a 10th name to the list. There may be another 20 lighthouses that share what these 9 have in common. [/b] This was posted when the list had 9 lighthouses on it.
