About Tuskar Rock Shore Station Lighthouse
The Tuskar Rock Shore Station, established in 1815, is a cylindrical granite tower standing 34 meters tall on the Irish coast in County Wexford. Attached to a two-story keeper's house, the structure is painted white and features a lantern and gallery. Its white light emits a single flash every 7.5 seconds, visible for nearly 16 nautical miles. The station's nearest port is Dunmore East, located 2.8 kilometers away. Constructed from granite, the round tower has served mariners for over two centuries.
Why it matters: This station aids navigation near Tuskar Rock, a significant hazard off Ireland's southeast coast. Its light helps vessels maintain safe passage through historically busy shipping lanes.
