North Bull Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in County Dublin, Ireland

The North Bull Lighthouse consists of a green metal tower measuring 15 meters in height, positioned at the entrance of Dublin Port.

Built in 1880 under the direction of engineer Bindon Blood Stoney, the lighthouse was established to manage increasing maritime traffic at Dublin Port.

The green-colored lighthouse represents the traditional maritime practice of marking the starboard side of harbor entrances for vessel navigation.

The lighthouse produces a green flash every four seconds and maintains a visibility range of 10 nautical miles for ships entering Dublin Bay.

The structure stands upon two massive concrete blocks weighing 330 tons each, which were transported using a floating crane from Alexandra Basin.
