It is situated at the end of a long peninsula that juts into the sea. HistoryThis lighthouse was built in 1871. It is a 14-metre tall cylindrical tower, painted red. Atop is a white lantern, a gallery, and a red roof. It was originally made of brick, but, since 1892, has been encased with iron. The lantern flashes white every six seconds. The original light has been replaced, and is now part of a display at the Ferryland Museum.[1] In August 2012, the Town of Ferryland became the new owners of this lighthouse. It is managed by the Irish Loop Development Board.[1] KeepersMichael Kearney 1871-1882 William Costello 1882-1905 John William Costello 1905-1927 Augustan Costello 1927-1939 William "Billy" Costello 1939-1970[2] See also
