Stormy Fastnet Rock Lighthouse and landing method

The first glimpse of Great Britain for an American on his European tour is the Fastnet lighthouse on a ragged rock nine miles south of Crookhaven at Trefani. The rock 80 feet high and the lighthouse 70 feet higher endure winter gales with seas washing the structure. in past storms food was nearly exhausted but a schooner delivered supplies. Landing is possible only by a 58 foot jib that swings visitors onto the rock. a buoy and rope aid hoisting. London Sketch notes the perilous approach and landing procedure.
