The quilt top was sewn by Arliss Larson before her death and was donated to the Zion Lutheran quilting group by her family. The Zion quilters finished the quilt and they in turn donated it to the Schoolcraft County Historical Society as a fundraiser. The quilt can be seen at the historical society store located on Cedar Street next to Manistique Computers. The quilt blocks depict Great Lakes ships and lighthouses including the Carl Bradley, Edmund Fitzgerald along with the Manistique and Seul Choix lighthouses, among others. The central blocks are completed in the “Storm at Sea” pattern. It is a standard 60 inch by 80-inch size.
