" ... An aerial hoist on the rock over the south landing was erected during 1906-07. Incandescent apparatus using vaporised paraffin burnt in a mantle replaced the multi-wick oil burner in March 1909.

beachcomber australia Only mention of a hoist, so 1906-1907 looks good, thank you.

“Inishtearaght (Inis Tiaracht) is one of the Blasket Islands and is probably the only Irish lighthouse that ordinary Joe Soaps like you and me will never get a glimpse of. This is a shame because it is one of the great lighthouses of the south-west of Ireland. But alas, it is a long way out, the lighthouse is on the far side of the island and no boats go out that far.
It is of course, Ireland's most westerly lighthouse”

Is it Derek on the derrick, or Windy Wendy on the windlass?

with this they could catch a really really big fish... I have been looking at yesterday's photo, the sharpness, clarity of the image is incredible - the original negative, pre print pre scan must be amazing

Looking SE to get those mountains in the background. Google 3D satellite - www.google.com/maps/place//@54.069183,-10.324061,140a,35y... Wiki lists more than its fair share of drama - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackrock_Island,_County_Mayo

There are a couple of other photos showing the derrick and "N.E. landing place". The second one has a June 1910 date - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000741094 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000740290

3 Keepers in the 1901 census, John N. Moore with Alexander Murray and John J. Gillispie assisting. All relatively young men, no wives or children on this remote posting. Moore's wife Marie Anne and their 6 children were in a house near the lighthouse at Blacksod Point on the mainland.

I don't see anything at buildingsofireland/NIAH, but the DIA says the lighthouse is from 1864.
