There was a town in West Michigan known as Singapore and it was a thriving lumber-town that had it's own currency, but once the trees were depleted 'Singapore' not only burned down, it became a ghost town and was eventually engulfed by the sand dunes. I had always referred to this little lighthouse as Singapore Lighthouse until I found the following information which explains (in great detail) about its history.

The Lighthouse has a Tugboat that is moored to its deck, but before the Tugboat was docked, it was stuck in mud/muck in the Kalamazoo (Lake) River. It became both a local attraction for people and, Seagulls. The Seagulls used it as a roost and well, let's just say it became covered in "Seagull Paint."
