  90% of lighthouse keepers are right handed. Should the photo be flipped?

  This fellow uses TWO parts isopropyl alcohol, two parts of distilled water, and TWO drops of Woolite. But I suppose he is in colour, not black and white - www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJpzyWGPREE

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

• beachcomber australia said:

  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.

• Niall McAuley said:

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