"The Hook"
PFW-9627-2 The calm before the storm. Taken a few hours before Storm Callum hit the South East coast of Ireland. Hook Lighthouse is a medieval lighthouse off the south coast of County Wexford. It is thought to be one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world. When the lighthouse at Hook became fully automated in 1996, there was no longer any need for resident keepers. It was decided then to open it up to the public. The former keeper's houses now play host to the visitor centre. The lighthouse was built in the 13th century and was a major feat of construction at that time. It has been helping sailors for roughly 800 years, apart from a short period in the 17th century when it closed. It was William Marshal, the Earl of Pembrokeshire, who organised the building of the lighthouse. He wanted to offer his ships some navigational help as they made their way to Waterford Harbour.
