  • NLM Newsletter Autumn-Winter 2020
    National Lighthouse Museum Autumn/WINTER 2020 newsletter National Lighthouse Museum “To preserve and educate on the maritime heritage of Lighthouses & Lightships for generations to come...” A Letter from Our Executive Director Dear National Lighthouse Museum Family, If you are reading this newsletter right now, you are considered part of this “special” family of supporters. We are most grateful for contributions in your time, your talents and/ or your financial support, always working toward enhancing our mission to preserve and educate on the maritime heritage of lighthouses, light ships and the stories of their keepers for generations to come! During these difficult times, we are hopeful you and your loved ones are staying safe and weathering this storm during unprecedented circumstances. The Museum is certainly trying to keep its head above water, re-opening to visitors on August 26. We have pivoted on many of our public programs, scaling back attendance, modifying events, using virtual platforms, and creating new and innovative events to achieve our mission. Most memorable was the only boat tour we were able to launch during the season, with a scaled back attendance, a magnificent day and a trip through the Raritan Bay over to Sandy Hook Light. Upon return, we were greeted in the distance with two whales breaching right behind the Romer Shoals light… In addition, in lieu of our annual Lighthouse Point Fest, we morphed into resurrecting our Great Staten Island Lighthouse Hunt. This event proved to be a “super-fun”, socially distanced day of participants discovering new and interesting locations and valuable history about Staten Island and its vast network of lighthouses on and offshore.

  • Northern Headlands & Surf Coast
    NORTHERN HEADLANDS & SURF COAST WildAtlanticWay.com #WildAtlanticWay WELCOME TO THE NORTHERN HEADLANDS & SURF COAST The Wild Atlantic Way, the longest defined coastal touring route in the world stretching 2,500km from Inishowen in Donegal to Kinsale in west Cork, leads you through one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. A frontier on the very edge of Europe, the Wild Atlantic Way is a place like no other, which in turn has given its people a unique outlook on life. Here you can immerse yourself in a different way of living. Here you can let your freer, spontaneous side breathe. Here you can embrace the Wild Atlantic Way of Life. The most memorable holidays always have a touch of wildness about them, and the Wild Atlantic Way will not disappoint. With opportunities to view the raw, rugged beauty of the highest sea cliffs in Europe; experience Northern lights dancing in winter skies; journey by boat to many of the wonderful islands off our island; experience the coast on horseback; or take a splash and enjoy the many watersports available. Stop often at the many small settlements and towns along the route. Every few miles there are places to stretch your legs and have a bite to eat, so be sure to allow enough time take it all in. For the foodies, you can indulge in some seaweed foraging with a local guide with a culinary experience so you can taste the fruits of your labours. As night falls enjoy the craic at traditional music sessions and even try a few steps of an Irish jig! It’s out on these western extremities – drawn in by the constant rhythm of the ocean’s roar and the consistent warmth of the people – that you’ll find the Ireland you have always imagined.

  • Aughalasheen and the Mullet Peninsula
    Aughalasheen And The Mullet Peninsula Historical Aspects Aughalasheen village is located to the North East of the Mullet Peninsula and its main town is Belmullet. It is approximately 6kms from Belmullet. Broadhaven Bay lies to its North. It belongs to the Parish of Kilmore in the Killala Diocese. It is also part of the Barony of Erris. It wasn’t until 1273 that the Norman Invasion reached Erris (over 100 years after the Normans first arrived in Ireland) when the Norman family of Barretts (who came from Munster) conquered Dónall Iorrais Ó Conchubhair (descendant of Ruairí Ó Conchubhair, High King of Ireland). The Barretts built three castles on the Mullet; Miles Barrett built a small castle in Knocknalina, the site of the post office now. The arrival of the Normans was not as disastrous in the long- term as later arrivals. The Normans became more Irish than the Irish, they married the Irish, spoke the language and gaelicised their name. The Irish, however, never regained their lands though they were returned as tenants. The families of Breathnach (Walshe) and McAndrews came to Erris about this time. English law declined until the the latter part of the sixteenth century. In 1584 Richard Bingham became Governor of Connaught. The Crown Queen Elizabeth sold or granted large plots of land to Lords. The Lords collected rent from their tenants in the barony and they in turn would pay rents to the Queen. Richard had a reputation of being a cruel man; burning, looting and killing without mercy. He immediately set about collecting the rents and forcing the Irish chieftains into submission.
