    Does "CHRISTIANI" have something to do with anything?

    Aha! Christiani & Neilsen Ltd. designed the new lighthouse. See - coastmonkey.ie/kish-lighship/ - including... In 1960 the Commissioners of Irish Lights decided to build a new permanent lighthouse to be installed on the Kish bank. The lighthouse was designed by Messrs Christiani & Nielsen Ltd and it was based on models previously used in Sweden. It would stand 110ft tall and weigh 6,500 tonnes, it contained six bedrooms and had TV and radio facilities with a helicopter pad on the very top. Construction began in 1963 and by June 1965 it was ready to travel out to its new home.
