ln a land whose roots are so entrenched by mythical Iegends of the past, it is no surprise that Ireland's Iighthouses, Iocated in some of the most unspoiled and picturesque places, are surrounded by tales of danger, heroism, romance, and mystery.
Hookhead Lighthouse, the oIdest lighthouse in the British lsles was formerly operated by an ancient order of monks.
Lightships were simpIy boats that acted as lighthouses. They were manned by daring keepers who had to endure terrible living conditions and unreIenting seas.
The Ballycotton lighthouse in Country Cork sits in a picturesque village and Iooks out across the wide and tranquil inIet of BaIIycotton Bay.
Fastnet in Country Cork, known as "The Teardrop of Ireland" because during the days of emigration, for many it would be their Iast sight of lreIand.
Despite the valiant attempts of designers and engineers, the power of the sea is a force that cannot be beaten, only contained. BuII and Calf Rock Iighthouses are examples of when the power of the sea probed too strong.
The SkeIIig Islands were occupied by an order of ancient monks who built a monastery on the edge of the cliffs hundreds of feet about the treacherous sea.
Mythology and superstitions haunt the mysterious Tory island. Set in the northwest corner of Ireland this is a pIace where ancient traditions and customs still exist.
The Maidens is a pair of lighthouses, home to a Romeo and Juliet style love story, whereby the chiIdren of the two lighthouse keepers were prevented from seeing each other, yet their Iove prevaiIed.
Roches Point is positioned beyond Cork Harbor where its tranquil beauty is deceiving. The waters here are very dangerous and many ships have crashed on the rocks.
Baily has guided ships into the port of DubIin for the past 300 years and was the last to be automated, ending the era of manned lighthouses in IreIand. |
