Breakwater beacon, Fishguard harbour
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Breakwater beacon, Fishguard harbour This is the end of the eastern breakwater which, like its northern companion, was constructed as part of the harbour development in Goodwick at the beginning of the C20. It was aimed at providing access for transatlantic liners and specifically the Mauretania which visited in 1909. However the harbour silted up and the dream of cruise ships with wealthy passengers never materialised.
The red beacon can be seen winking at night and I imagine that the 'foghorn' warning also emanates from here. |
