Description

Poolbeg Lighthouse Dublin - BW by Lexa Harpell.

At the end of Great South Wall in Dublin's harbour, sits the Poolbeg Lighthouse.

The lighthouse is reportedly the first candle powered lighthouse in the world, yet changed to oil in 1786.
The wall was built to solve the problematic sandbars to the entrance of Dublin's Port and completed in 1795, running 4kms into the harbour from Ringsend.
May locals today walk the length of the wall to fish around the lighthouse.
