Picture of the Day for September 27, 2013

The harbor in Cornucopia is protected by a breakwater which provides refuge from Lake Superior’s sometimes angry disposition. But sometimes the lake’s anger disposition still wins as it sounds like there were some issues after the current breakwater structure was built in 1957.

There is a long line of older wooden posts which probably was the original breakwater but are now abandon and feeling the pounding of Lake Superior. I saw requests for a breakwater for Cornucopia in 1911 so these weathered warriors probably started their duty sometime after the request was approved.
