British Admiralty Charts PART THREE: BRITISH ADMIRALTY CHARTS 466 INTRODUCTION TO PART THREE Part Three (entries 1856 through 2010) describes the 154 nautical charts of the bays, coasts, harbors, lakes and rivers of Ireland published by the British Hydrographic Office in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries up to 2004. In keeping with Library of Congress usage, these catalog entries also include the numbers assigned to the charts by the British Hydrographic Office. The collection in the Geography and Map Division includes several charts published by the Admiralty from surveys made under the direction of Captain George A. Frazer, M. R. I. A., the noted hydrographer who, from 1842 to 1853, surveyed the northern, eastern, and southern coasts of Ireland as far as Cork. The first and major portion of Part Three, entries 1856 through 2010, provides a full bibliographic description of such B.A. charts in the Division. Within these numeric catalog entries, the chart numbers assigned by the British Admiralty Hydrographic Office are arranged sequentially, in accordance with the Division’s usage. Each numbered catalog entry provides, therefore, the B.A. chart number, the title of the chart, the date of publication, the dates of editions, the chart size in centimeters, and the scale. Dates of corrections, if any, are also included. Most of the charts date from the publication date of 1832 to the present The second portion of Part Three consists of a table followed by a graphic index map of Ireland which will assist the researcher in locating place names used in the B.A. chart titles along various sections of the Irish coast. 467 BRITISH ADMIRALTY CHARTS British Admiralty Chart numbers are in italics and arranged in sequential order 1856 B.A. 1 A General Chart of the Coasts from the River Thames & South part of Ireland, to the Mediterranean Sea from Materials in the Hydrographical Office Admiralty.

Milk would only last a couple of days, so it was great to have the goats. They were well looked after.” Former lighthouse keeper Eddie Fitzgerald is telling me about life on Ballycotton Island in east Cork. I have visited the village on the mainland before, but the little green island and its black lighthouse tower always had an air of mystery, as the island had been out of bounds for visitors — until now. Fitzgerald teaches me about the life of a lightkeeper. He tells us about the paraffin oil-powered freezer where they used to store extra meat or milk before the days of electric fridges, and about the 10 goats. “I could be here all day telling you stories about the goats,” he laughs. Ballycotton lighthouse was first lit in 1851 and for the following 141 years, until Step in the lighthouse was automated, lightkeepers lived on the island. For the first 50 years, two families at a time lived on the island — the children were rowed across to school and back — but later it was just the keepers there for a month at a time, with no shore excursions, even though the lighthouse was less than a mile from shore.

  • East Inishowen Sea Kayak Trail
    • Kinnagoe Bay East Inishowen Sea Kayak Trail ... paddle by sandy beaches and cliffs, push around headlands, kayak in the shadow of rocky stacks and through caves! LINKS WITH OTHER TRAILS The Foyle Canoe Trail runs from Lifford to Moville with the section from Culmore Point overlapping part of the Inishowen Trail. Stretching over 22 nautical miles from the start of the River Foyle, this unique trail runs along the tidal river, passing through historic Derry city before following Lough Foyle’s varied coastline to the seaside town of Moville. From the northern end of Lough Foyle, seasoned kayakers can link up with the North Coast Sea Kayak Trail, which begins at Magilligan Point only 1.2 km across the Narrows at Greencastle - plan the crossing carefully, taking into account currents and wind, passage of commercial shipping and fi shing boat operations! WILDLIFE The screeches and calls of cliff nesting • Seal on Inishtrahull bird colonies dominate the soundtrack of this rugged coastline. Fulmar and manx shearwater elegantly skim the surface of the water, ‘shearing’ from side to side as they rhythmically alternate white under parts and dark upper body. Diving terns and soaring gannets (from Ailsa Craig in western Scotland) indicate shoals of fi sh near the surface. Keep a special eye out for the white rumped storm petrel, a dainty ocean wanderer, who patters along the wave tops in summer, fl ying ashore on dark nights to their island nest in some stony crevice. Peregrine and buzzard are cliff top predators with the added excitement of regular eagle sightings in recent years.
