Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Designed and built by Joseph Nelson in 1826. In September 1838 the steamer Forfarshire, bound from Hull to Dundee, went aground on Hawkers Rocks, about a mile from the Lighthouse, when 43 people were drowned; the stern portion of the vessel being split off and carried away in the storm. The forepart, with the survivors, remained fast on the rocks. At daybreak William Darling, the keeper, saw the wreck, but thought it impossible to attempt a rescue. He was finally persuaded to make the attempt by his daughter, with her as the second hand in the small lighthouse boat. They brought back four men and one woman and later a further four survivors; all 9 had to be accommodated and fed at the lighthouse for two days until the storm abated and they could be taken to the mainland. The light was automated in 1990. |
