In 1888 Berkeley Deane Wise was appointed engineer to the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway. His work in Whitehead included the creation of Blackhead Path, the promenade, ladies and gents bathing boxes on the promenade, a beach (using imported sand from Portrush) and a bandstand.

" ... 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”
