GREAT LIGHTHOUSES OF IRELAND - Loop Head by ⭐ Peter Kročka ⭐
There has been a lighthouse at Loop Head since 1670. Originally, it was a coal burning brazier on a platform on the roof of the cottage lighthouse where the lightkeeper lived. You can still see part of the old cottage on the site. The first ‘tower’ lighthouse was built in 1802 and replaced with a new tower in 1854. In 1869 its light changed from being fixed to flashing. Its ‘character’ is a white light flashing 4 times every 20 seconds. The lighthouse converted to electric operation in 1971 and was automated in 1991 Prints are available to buy at SHUTTERSTOCK https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/irelands-eye-island-on-east-coast-17593383951X.comhttps://beta.1x.com/kroker ADOBE STOCK https://stock.adobe.com/contributor/209052454/peter-krocka?load_type=author&prev_url=detail&asset_id=441052167 GETTY IMAGES https://www.gettyimages.ie/detail/photo/baltray-shipwreck-ireland-royalty-free-image/1124322031
