Summary

[edit]
Description

The lantern room was removed from the lighthouse around 1980. The residents would like to put the original top back on the lighthouse.

The first light on Shipley Head was a lantern hoisted up a mast, it was established in 1885, following the sinking of the SS Atlantic in 1873. 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.
