Eagle Island lighthouses, Twin lighthouses in County Mayo, Ireland
The Eagle Island lighthouse complex consists of two structures built from local stone, with one tower remaining operational at a height of 11 meters.
Construction of the first lighthouse began in 1835 after concerns from the Coastguards about dangerous conditions near Blackrock prompted maritime safety improvements.
The lighthouses represent the dedication of Irish lighthouse keepers who maintained these structures until 1988, when automated systems replaced manual operations.
Access to Eagle Island requires advance planning and coordination with local authorities, as the location remains an active navigational installation.
On January 17, 1836, a powerful storm launched a rock that shattered the lighthouse window 27 meters above sea level.
