Lightships off the Irish Coast
Just a year ago this month Ireland's last lightship was withdrawn from service at South Rock off Co. Down. Whereas there were no lightships off the north coast or the west coast and only 3 on the south coast there were up to nine lightships stationed off our east coast.
