In 1927, the current thirty-eight-foot-tall cylindrical tower was erected on the pierhead and
equipped with an air diaphone fog signal, replacing the old steam whistle. The wooden walkway
was removed at this time along with the old fog signal building, and the current cast iron walkway
was put in place. The Manistee’s catwalk is one of only ive on the east coast of Lake Michigan.
