The Lighthouses of the Great Lakes puzzle by artist Bev Schreiber is a tribute to the lighthouses that guide sailors through turbulent waters. In short, this 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle is a rewarding challenge.
About the Artwork
For generations, these lighthouses have helped ships navigate the Great Lakes. Each one has its own shape, colors and character.
In addition, the storms on the Great Lakes can be fierce, so the lights have played an important role. As a result, many are now beloved landmarks.
Because each lighthouse is a small scene of its own, the puzzle is fun to build in sections.
If you enjoy this design, be sure to look at Lighthouses of Michigan and Great Lakes from Space too.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build each lighthouse one at a time, using its colors as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the shorelines and rocks. After that, piece together the water. Finally, fill in the sky and background, sorting those pieces by shade.

This was a replacement for a puzzle we picked up in Mackinaw. We didn’t realize we had lost pieces until we put together 998. Darn, we lost one of these and didn’t realize it until we put together 999 pieces. Finally, tonight, I finished the Nautical map and IT WAS ALL THERE. Yipee!

I loved this puzzle..I learned a lot not knowing that there were so many lighthouses on the Great Lakes. Color and pieces were very good. Now I want to travel to see all of them.

We lived in MIchigan City, IN, so always walked out the pier to the light house. I love all lighthouses, so enjoyed putting this puzzle together. Now, we live in NE TN and just ordered the Lineville Falls, NC puzzle which we have seen several times. These puzzles are well fitted and go together without problems.

What a great puzzle! What a great company! Heritage is the BEST. We bought this puzzle in Michigan when on vacation in 2019, worked it when we got home when we had time, only to find out there was one piece missing. We contacted Heritage and they replaced the puzzle for us. Many, many thanks. Easter Sunday 2020, however, as we put our grandson’s highchair back at the table I looked down at the floor and saw a puzzle piece. I couldn’t believe my eyes – the missing piece must have been on the chair all the time. We sent a check to Heritage for the replacement puzzle. During this time of COVID-19, puzzles are in GREAT demand. Virtual hugs to Karen Everhart.

I do love the puzzle but it would have been nice if the lighthouses were actually all in the correct places…Point Abino lighthouse is not on Lake Ontario.
