Poolbeg Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Dublin Bay, Ireland
The red and white striped Poolbeg Lighthouse stands 20 meters tall at the end of the South Bull Wall in Dublin Bay.
Since 1767, the lighthouse has guided ships into Dublin Port, with an upgrade from candlepower to oil illumination in 1786.
The structure represents Dublin's maritime history as one of three lighthouses that have protected vessels entering the River Liffey for generations.
Dublin Port Company manages this automated navigation aid, which continues to direct maritime traffic through Dublin Bay's busy shipping channels.
Until 1958, the Ordnance Survey Ireland used the spring tide low water mark at Poolbeg Lighthouse as the standard height for all maps.
