Description

PLEASE, no multi invitations, glitters or self promotion in your comments, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks - NONE OF MY PICTURES ARE HDR.

People swimming at a small cove at the foot of the Terence Bay Lighthouse.

From my new camera Sony NEX-7 taken yesterday. So far the camera has performed well but there is a learning curve to it. I also will be putting pictures up from my trip to Ontario. I will continue posting my Romanian ones on Monday.

Terence Bay is the Northwest Arm of Pennant Bay. After the sinking of the SS Atlantic in 1873, a light was erected at the entrance to Terence Bay, 1885. This lighthouse is the successor to that temporary light.

The first light on Shipley Head was a lantern hoisted up a mast, it was established in 1885.

The present tower replaced the mast light in 1903 and was built using local people from the area.

In poor condition, the lantern room was removed around 1980.

Tower Height: 7.92 meters (26ft)

Light Height: 14.6 meters (48ft) above water level
