Split Rock Lighthouse

Assemble your own beacon of history—let its warm light guide your nights.

Perched atop a 133-foot cliff overlooking the wild waters of Lake Superior, Split Rock Lighthouse stands as a symbol of resilience, craftsmanship, and coastal legend. When the gales of November lash the lake into a frenzy, waves can rise 20 feet or more—turning this vast inland sea, known in the Ojibwe language as Kitchi-gami (“Big Sea”), into one of the most perilous waterways in the world.

Following the tragic Mataafa Storm of 1905, which wrecked 29 ships and took 36 lives—including the Madeira, dashed against the rocky shores of Silver Bay—this beacon was born out of necessity. First lit on July 31, 1910, Split Rock quickly became both a lifeline for mariners and one of America’s most photographed lighthouses.

Now, Ugears invites you to bring this coastal icon to life with a stunning, hands-on model that merges engineering elegance with warm, ambient light.
